part of the fallen soldier memorial
from the ground up its
combat boots
M16
Helmet
and dog tags around it
or at the feet of the boots.
Everytime i see one of these
i begin to tear up
My father was Active Duty Army
And now im married to an amazing Man
named Jaime who is Active Duty Army
and it breaks my heart every time
because it could be him
and i thank the goddess every day
that he's alive.

For all of the soldiers who haven't come home
from Korea {yes there are still men fighting in korea}
Afghanistan,
Kuwait
And Iraq
And for those of you who have lost someone
in this "war"
im sorry for your loss.

For those who see this please keep the men and women of the 563rd Charlie Company and 1st Id Infantry in your thoughts. They are currently stationed in Afghanistan and wont be home until december 2009.
