A Mothers Strength.....





Please take a moment on Monday to thank our soldiers and to pray or have a moment of silence for their sacrifices for our country and for our freedom....











My friend Yolande will be saying good by to her son Keith... 
 he is leaving for Afghanistan.... 










We will be praying for his safety and for him to have strength... 











and to all the children who have given up time with their parents... 































The time that soldiers are away from their loved ones...












We salute them for their courage...











and to let them know what a blessing they are to us...












Yolande...
we will be praying for Kieth and for your family to have  strength while he is gone...our heart goes out to you and we thank your son for being a man of integrity...and to all others who have fought for freedom!











Have a great weekend!
Julie

    Julie,
    Memorial Day comes once a year for us. But not for the families who have members in the military. Everyday is a struggle when they are away serving. Thank you for your emotional post as the photos say it all.

    What a beautiful and important post. I will be thinking of Yolanda and Keith. Yolanda is lucky to have you as a friend. If you want to start a letter writing campaign to Keith, I would be happy to join and promote.
