Coming Soon to a Blog Near You

She is blogging twice in one month??? I know it is kinda scaring me too... LOL

Since I am often at a loss on blogging material from Scout I have decided to try a new approach. I will be featuring different Scouts that I have come to know and love and maybe even some I do not know but will love shorty if I can get enough of these wild men to play my reindeer games with me.
If you have a Scout that you would like to see featured here on the old blog please shoot me an email and I will send you a questionaire and picture request. Everything posted will be OPSEC approved only.
I will also be asking for any goody box request and if anyone feels inclined to help with that I can inbox you my address where stuff can be sent. I have several wonderful victims ummm friends that have volunteered to help me pack and mail treats. I will put names in a hat and once a month send out a random goody box so get those names sent in.

I love you Scout

Cav Mom

Don't feel bad about updating. I did the same thing when my son joined the 82nd. Having said that you have given me a wonderful idea. Jacob was discharged in October and I have not blogged since. I, like you have met many wonderful soldiers that continue to serve and that I am in contact with. I am going to start blogging about them as they continue to serve.

Thanks for the GREAT idea!

Pops

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.
