So ladies and gents, please meet Joseph, nominated by his mother, Diane:
My Son / My Hero
As he left that day, running to catch the bus with his comrades, he turned and smiled and waved at his brother and I as if to say, "It's OK Mom, I will be safe." It was a proud but sad day for me. Words cannot express the love I have for him. Joe has been in the Marines for 9 years. He has and always will make his family and friends proud. May God put a blanket of protection around him as he strives and continues to do his duties as a Marine. Continue to stand tall and proud, my son. Semper Fi, OORAH - Love, Mom"
Joseph, Keep Your Helmet On - Take care, and stay safe - we are all proud of you.
Diane, please let me know if there's anything I or Soldiers' Angels can do for you.
Our Hero of the month has a care package on the way, courtesy of Patti and Soldiers' Angels. Diane has also asked that I submit his name, so he'll soon have his own Angel to send ongoing mail and packages.
