speak of our REAL STARS
A music video has just been completed in
dedication to our Gold Star Families  It is a
video by country artist, Jason Meadows,
titled "18 Video Tapes." The song is about a
father's love and tapes he recorded for a
son he will never see grow up.  The artist
has received a lot of feedback from military
families on how much this song means to
them, so he dedicated it to our fallen heroes
and their families.  Some of our Gold Star
Families are in the video and it is a really
touching tribute.
Hope you can all view it and pass it onto
others.  See it here:

Mother's Day.
Dear Fallen Heroes

We know that your mother will not receive a call, email, card, letter,
or gift from you this year because you have already given her and all
good people of the world the ultimate gift of freedom and a better
future by sacrificing your life for the benefit
of humanity; so we are sending your mother this message on your behalf:

"Thank you, Mother, for giving us life so we were able to do our best
for you and everyone.

Thank you for providing all the nurturing and love you gave us.

Thank you for your encouragement and support as we accepted this
responsibility.

Thank you for your sacrifice of part of your own spririt, your own
flesh and blood.

Thank you for not placing blame, on others, on us, on your self.

We did the best we could, as you did.

So, Mother, thank you, God bless you, may every Mother's Day, and every
day, be the best possible for you and all mothers, whether they have
lost their sons and daughters
or still enjoy their company.

Happy Mother's Day, Mother!"

In Honor Of TO ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS
You Did Not Die Alone
You left  to fight for not only
the ones you love,
but for the ones yet to come
you  fought to uphold
the American flag, and for all
that it stands for, you fought for the  wives at home, taking care of the children
while they and  your children sleep peacefully.
You fought for the integrity of  the MIA and the VA and anyone else who
is an amercian. you fought for those who survived
and for those who gave their life for our freedom
You did not die alone, when we lose an American Soldier,
we not only lose  a great person,  we also lose  a part of ourselves.
To  think, our children, brothers, aunts, uncles, sisters, fathers, &
mothers  are over there  dodging every bullet today. Just so they can
get up tomorrow and  do the same very  thing.

God Bless  our  troops, and their families  who were left behind,
You did not die alone, everytime we turn on the news and hear of another soldier who lost  his
or her life, a  little part of  us  die  along with you.

Rhonda Kirkpatrick
In Honor Of Eddie Tamez
I am so sorry about your son Eddie.  I am David
Kirkpatrick's mom and I understand what you are going thru.  I know how much
you miss him and how hard the holidays have been for you and your
family.  I think of you and your family often.  I loved hearing the story
that SGT. William Castillo told us about Eddie teaching David magic
tricks.  David couldn't wait to get home and show his 4 sisters the tricks.
I am so glad that David and Eddie were friends.  David was so quiet, I
was worried about him making good friends, but from all I have heard,
he found a very good friend with Eddie.  I didn't know Eddie but we will
never forget him.  He is a true hero and you can be sure that his
memory is kept alive by our family.

from England
In the words of our greatest leader Winston Churchill
" Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to
so few." We as a country look on America as our greatest friend and
although we mourn our soldiers too we shall always watch your back.
