Good morning everyone!

A friend of mine just sent this to me, I thought I would pass it on!

I Got Your Back

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 has gone 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's 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 will 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 husband's 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.

From FReeper I_saw_the_light

HI. I received a request from a co-worker for prayers and e-mails to a family member,
a niece recently stationed in S. Korea, she is 19 years old and quite alone there.
I asked my co-worker if it was ok to forward this to Free Republic, and she was enthusiastic.
I dont quite know where to stick the request. I look at your threads sometimes, but they are soo big!
Can you put her email address in the canteen and prayer lists? Thanks.

Her name is Sheena Cox, 19 years old.

Wow!! Snippy, thank you so much for a wonderful thread. Absolutely beautiful tribute to WWII WAVES and to your mother. What a blessing your mother is to all of us. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Perhaps, it will inspire all that see this to find out more. *HUGS*
