My brother
Now near twenty years old
You are off to serve our country
With much pride to hold

It is a very dangerous task
But a very rewarding one
Be careful is all I ask
I do not want you to be gone

I hope this will make you stronger
To be proud of yourself in the end
I don’t think you can take it much longer
Having nothing to help you mend

I am very proud of you brother
No one could compare
I would never ask another
To be mine I swear

I am "proud" of your brother, as well! Having a loving and supportive sister, like yourself, must mean a great deal to him and will be very helpful in bringing him back safely to hearth and home!

God bless him and all those who serve and protect our mutual countries!

A heartfelt write that I felt in my own

Love, Harmony, & World Peace!

Jessica,

You make me want to adopt your brother.
Please thank him for me, and tell him that
because of you, we'll be keeping him in our
thoughts that he will stay out of harm's way.

ILoveTheRain,

God bless your brother. He's a good, and brave almost twenty year old man.
