Today I Am A Proud Future Army Soldier Mom

Today my son spent the day at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) he is officially a future Army Solider. Today I became a very proud future Army Mom. There is proud moments and some sad moments. Soon he will leave home and go on to be come a Solider. As a Mom I will worry while being very proud at the same time. I asked him why he wanted to join the Army. His answer was very simple. I want to serve and protect our country and our freedom. Tear flow down my face. Yes I am truly a very proud mom. To all the Men and Women who serve our country. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I thank you now just as I will thank my son.
