fabulous page! warms my heart as I have 2 sons in the service right now, 20 and 23. Both are getting deployed this year..one to Korea in April and my youngest to probably Afghanistan later this summer. I can totally relate to the feelings we have as moms...it is so tough to see your "babies" in harms way! praying for all the soldiers!
Omg..I wanted to cry at your beautiful letter to your son. Love the lay out.
Beautiful,beautiful i can't find the right words to say how touched i'am!!! This is a wonderful page for your wonderful son!! I love it!
Being the mother of 3 boys and 2 of which joined the Marines in July 2011 (around time u posted LO) I understand every inch of pain you feel as a hearing the words "mom I'm going to serve our country" 1st thought is how proud you are, and all other thoughts are NO NOT MY SON, NOT IN THIS WAR. PLEASE LORD TAKE THE WHEEL! It's great the love you expressed for him. Thank him for his service. I think this is now my fav LO SHEILA (new scrap booker)but loving it already(& I haven't started 1 thing lol) from 1soldiers mom to another (but with 1 common goal). Thanks again Sheila
