(This was Forwarded via Email from my cousin, a Marine in Iraq!)---

Thought this was pretty cool. Just make sure you plug in Marine where it says soldier! Remember Marines aren't soldiers, they are Marines. : ) I LOVE YOU ALL!

I am a small and precious child,

my dad's been sent to fight...

The only place I'll see his face,

is in my dreams at night.

He will be gone too many days

For my young mind to keep track.

I may be sad, but I am proud.

My daddy's got your back.


I am a caring mother.

My son may go to war...

My mind is filled with worries

that I have never known before

Everyday I try to keep

my thoughts from turning black.

I may be scared, but I am proud.

My son has got your back.


I am a strong and loving wife,

with a husband soon to go.

There are times I'm terrified

in a way most never know.

I bite my lip, and force a smile

as I watch my husband pack...

My heart may break, but I am proud.

My husbands got your back...


I am a soldier, Serving Proudly, standing tall.

I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.

I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.

Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back.

THEY DESERVE ALL THE SUPPORT WE CAN GIVE THEM!!!!!

Thank you for that poem you posted in 139, and your impassioned plea that there never be another dark chapter for our returning military as occured during and following the Viet Nam conflict. Never again, by God's grace.
