|
Key
Messages: |
How very
proud we are of him for even considering
the military with the world in the shape
it is. He had to leave early with only seven
hours notice. He didn't get to see everyone
he wanted to say bye to before he left.

Memorable
Moments: |
We had
planned a big party that he didn't get to
attend. There were a lot of tears that night.
Not only because we missed him but because
he would be infantry and in great danger
at war. He strives to be the best in anything
he does. In five weeks in hell, (boot camp)
he had accomplished squad leader and was
told he would graduate with honors in dress
blues. Little did he know he would get sick
and be sent home on a medical discharge.
He was so disappointed and felt like he
failed and let everyone down. He has never
disappointed us in anything. We are still
waiting on him to be released. He has a
two year daughter who asks about him everyday.
She doesn't understand why we can't go get
her daddy and cries for him. I my self have
shed tears every day. We want him to know
that he has not failed us and that we are
very proud of him and he will always be
our hero. From Mom, Dad, James, Shannon,
and Amaiya |

Heroes |
|
|
Heroes, sometimes don't go to battle,
sometimes they have to conquer their within,
sometimes their actions speak louder than
words,
others, through fate, never get the chance
to win. |
But you are indeed,
our hero,
you gave it your all and then a little more
and we just wanted you to know that we're
proud of you
and that's really what these words are for. |
It takes a brave man to even consider the
military,
especially with the world on its precarious
edge,
it takes a brave man to volunteer,
and an even braver man to take the pledge. |
And we're sorry you
didn't get your party,
but you had to leave with only hours to spare
and as a marine, you knew your duty,
responsiveness goes with the uniform and the
hair. |
There were a lot of tears that night,
we knew you'd chosen the infantry and the
risks attached,
but you were determined to make it as a marine
and that determination, simply couldn't be
matched. |
Because you always strive
to be the best,
in anything you set your mind to
and that mind set helped you through boot
camp,
God only knows what you had to go through. |
And in five long weeks of hell,
you were already the leader of the squad,
but then fate decided to intervene
and you were struck, like a bolt from God. |
And so very quickly
and cruelly,
your dreams turned into dust,
but maybe everything for a reason
and maybe, in fate you should trust. |
Because, believe me, you never let us down,
we are immensely proud of what you've done,
in fact, you've never disappointed us in anything,
you are in every way, a wonderful son. |
And your little girl
misses you so,
she misses you with all her heart
and today is the first day of the rest of
your life
and I think with your spirit, that's a pretty
good start. |
So, just know that you haven't failed us
and yes, there's one more thing you should
know,
we love you, we're very proud of you
and yes son, you are definitely our hero. |

Allen,
Thank you so much! The poem looks great. There
is only one little thing I see that I would like
to change. Could you just change the word soldier
to marine? I think it has it in there twice, but
other than that everything looks great.
I have no problem at all with you putting it on
your website. You do not have to change any names
or details.
For the paper, I would just like the plain-no
background. Yes I would like it to be autographed
and the handwritten draft as well. Also, at the
end of the poem could you put.... Love Mom, Dad,
James, Shannon and Amaiya.
Again, Thanks so much! It is Wonderful!! |
