Oh WOW

I did not realize it had been so long since I posted, I have really been falling down on my job.
One thing I have learned is: No News is Good News.
I haven't heard much from Chris lately and what I have heard is mostly things that he needs us to bring to graduation. Can you believe it is less than 2 weeks till we head to Kentucky? I am getting so excited even though the letter today said that we would only have about 20 minutes with him after graduation before he has to bus to the airport. We will get to go to the airport and hang with him until he leaves.
Chris is ready to leave Ft. Knox. I think he is ready to get started on the next adventure and from what I can tell by researching Ft. Drum, that adventure is going to have one main attraction: COLD.

If you get a second will you please head over to mudpuppy's blog. He is currently in Afganastan and is working on project for the local children. He could use all the help possible. Head over there and see if you can help please.

God Bless,
aam

Keep us posted...how are you feeling? Are you familiar with the blog, ShaysMom? Her daughter is enlisted USAF and she calls it "skin time". Love it! Just to be able to have your child near enough to touch their skin!
God Bless!

I am excited, I am nervous and I am ready!!!
Yes Michelle is a familiar blog, she sent Chris a Grateful American coin right after he arrived at Ft.Knox and he carries it everywhere. Skin Time is something I am looking forward to even if it is only a few minutes.
You are right MudPuppy is doing a wonderful "extra" job while he is there.
Thanks for stopping by.

From my heart to God's ears

Father God~
Please send your angels of safety, love and peace to watch over our brave military men and women and please father ask them to give a extra squeeze to my Scout and Tyson, Matt G, Russ, Kyle, Mitchel, Jason, Warren, Matthew P, Josh, Chris C, Rush and the rest of the 1-89. I ask that you keep them safe, help them complete their mission and bring them all home safely. Father, I ask that you guide those in command as they make hard decisions that effect so many. I ask that you watch over the loved ones of all those in harms way and comfort those with heavy hearts.
Father, I know that without you all would be lost and I claim these request in your name. I thank you Father each time I see Scout pop up on my instant message or on his facebook because I know that at that moment all is well. And please provide termite control for their mascot Plank who gives comic relief where not much laughter is found. I will continue to give you all the glory each and every day. Amen

The Soldier's Mother 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 my 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 system of values that has preserved our great 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 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 for 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 what ever I can do to let my son, my soldier, know that we are here for him, beside him, we love him and I will pray for 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."

Fiddler's Green

Half way down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green.
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped,
Near a good old time canteen.
And this eternal resting place,
Is known as Fiddlers' Green.

Marching past straight through to Hell,
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by Engineers,
Artillery and Marines.
For none but shades of the Cavalrymen,
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.

Though some go curving down the trail,
To seek a warmer scene.
No Trooper ever gets to Hell,
Ere he's emptied his canteen.
And so goes back to drink again,
With friends again at Fiddlers' Green.
