Your Boy in Green! ~My Mom's Letter to Me~

My mama started this when he left for Iraq and made additions for round two...Touches my heart. Thanks mama love you!
I KNOW WHAT''S IN A MOTHER'S HEART.... YOU AND THE ONE YOU LOVE

SHE IS OUR BABY...OUR JELLY BEAN,
SHE FELL IN LOVE, WITH A BOY IN GREEN.
WE WERE SCARED AND CONCERNED AFTER SHE TOLD US THE STORY,
OF HOW SHE HAD MET THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, NAMED COREY.
SHE SAID, "HE'S GOING TO IRAQ TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS", BUT COURTNEY,
I SAID...ALL OF THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS?

I BELIEVE IN OUR COUNTRY, WE NEED TO BE FREE, BUT LOVING A
BOY WHO WEARS ARMY GREEN?
SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN, YOUR
HEART COULD BE BROKEN,
BUT I LOVE HIM, SHE SAID, TRUER WORDS
NEVER SPOKEN...

IN GOD'S TIME, SHE TOLD ME, MY MAN WILL COME HOME,
GOD TOLD ME TO TRUST HIM, I'M NEVER ALONE...
I'M WITH HIM, AND YOU, JUST TRUST IN YOUR LORD,
I'LL LEAD YOU THROUGH life until your final reward...

And so they were MARRIED, he came home from Iraq, I've
prayed every day that he'll never go back.
But the orders are in, for a place we all know,
he'll be leaving today, where the blood often flows..
They call it Afghanistan, where Bin Laden DWELLS,
he sent friends to die, in their own personal Hell...

September 11  is an infamous date, where we know
we must defend our U-nited States…

I'm proud of my Corey, My Courtney and others,
The Navy, The Air Force, the Army and brothers,
They'll fight to protect our U-nited States,
and at home we'll support them and pray as we wait....

God bless them and keep them in all of our dreams,
Until he returns, he's her baby in green...

And she loves him, she told us, I saw in her face…
She's proud and she's living in His Green Army space...

she'll never FORGET what HIS army green
means, BECAUSE MY BABY GIRL IS STILL living HER dream... She'll wait and she'll
wonder, she'll live and she'll pray.  But together her Green family
Wives, they'll figure out a way…

Not only are we proud of Sgt. Corey, we are proud of those of you who keep the home fires burning until their return.
Thank you Family members...
Mom
