My Daughter has been Happily Married with 4 Children for 12 years. My Wonderful Son-in-law BOB who works very hard to provide a wonderful Life for her and my Grandchildren. Sitting with My Son and his wife Kyrstyna while he was home on Leave this past October 2007

This is Me aka MissisippiMom and my entire Family together just days before Jim left for Iraq November 2007!
When Their Dad passed away in 1998... It made my Job a little Harder when it came to raising my Son as a Teenager by Myself.
Jim age 19 had Joined the Army and was Sworn in May 2004 he has trained hard, Graduated Basic Training August, 2004. Mom attended the Graduation Ceremony in Ft Benning, GA and I had the Honor of Standing before my Son and attached the Blue Infantry Cord on his Uniform. Next to giving Birth... That Day made me Extremely Proud. From my Eyes, it was like seeing my Boy become a MAN!
He is now serving our Country as a US Army Infantry Soldier and is deployed to the Middle East

Needless to say...
...I'm a Proud Mom of a US Army Soldier

Please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. "Amen."

~THE SOLDIERS MOTHERS CREED~
I am the mother of an American Soldier.
I give my complete and unwavering Support to my Soldier. As my Son serves the people of the United States, so I humbly offer up prayers for his safety and the safety and health of those he serves beside.
I respect his choice to adhere to a strict Moral Code and a system of values that has preserved our country for over two centuries. I accept that my soldier's first duty is to his country and I understand that this sacrifice he willingly makes is what keeps our Nation Great.
I will never expect anything but the Best from my Soldier, for I know that he is capable. I know that a Soldier's Heart is True and Strong, and that my Soldier will Endure.
I will never abandon my Soldier, my Son, my Love. I will love him unconditionally. He will know I am there with him, even when he is alone.I am disciplined, emotionally and mentally tough, learning to wait for phone calls and letters or emails home. I, like my soldier, am an expert.
I stand ready to do whatever I can to let my son, my soldier, know that we are here for him, behind him, we love him and I will pray for the swift destruction of the enemies of our country. I am the person who stood guardian of this man who has become my soldier, now our Guardian of Freedom and the American way of life.
I am the mother of an American Soldier.
