To My Son-In-Law And To Those Who Serve To Protect Us And Our FREEDOM
 To my son-in-law, Tex! Thank you for your courage and for the sacrifices you have made for our country. May God bless you every day, and ALWAYS bring you safely home! My son-in-law....My soldier....MY HERO!
A Soldier
By: Angela Goodwin
There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title
any man can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished
after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice
what comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason
our land is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
If you are A Soldier -
I am saying this to you.....
Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER
Thank God for what YOU do!
