A daughter's poem
This poem was written by my daughter, Jessica.
The Soldier
You are my hero
Doing what you are doing.
Leaving our family and
fighting for another
so that we may keep our freedom.
We live in the land of the free
because of the brave.
You are the brave.
You are my hero.
You are my father.
Thanks, sweetie.
I'm walking a little taller today.

John, You know I'm proud of you as a son, but also proud of you as a father. I know how hard it has been being away from your family and I know how this poem from Jessica touched your heart. But they are such great and smart kids. Love and prayers, Momma P.S.Jessica, Your poem was awesome and touched my heart also, With all my love, Grandma
If you encounter a "war skeptic" show 'em this---if you are disillusioned with today's teenagers show 'em this. Take a look world thru the eyes and heart of a 15 year old!! Pretty powerful!! Luv,Ps91
John- I just discovered your blog today - got the link from your lovely wife at a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese...Weee! I've been reading to my husband on and off since I logged on. Amazing stuff! Your Shoreline family is praying for you. The Cherrys
John, how very very proud you must be of your special children. It is because of the Love you and Amy have raised them with that allows them to express such wonderful thoughts. Everyone, rightfully so,is thanking you for the work that you are doing over seas to make the world a better place. I would like to also thank you for the parenting that you have bestowed on your children, which will also for generations to come, make this world a better place because of the special family that you have.
God Bless you and watch over you,
Love
Uncle Jim
Awesome. I pray for you and that you may come to know Jesus Christ as your Saviour and giver of eternal life.
This is awesome. What a hero.
So simple but so beautiful! There's something so powerful just about the words 'you are my father.'
