Happy Birthday son!!!

Our firstborn turned 21 today. I can not believe it!!!

While we hate that we can't be with you today, we're so very proud that you are serving our country. This picture speaks of so much of who you are. You are strong, able to face challenges of life, willing to give of yourself for the better of others, willing to sacrifice for the freedom of those you know and love and those you don't even know. You put others before yourself every day as you live this life as an Airman. You're courageous. As I look at the face in this picture, I see the heart of a good, godly man. Your dad and I love you, miss you, and pray for you daily. We anxiously await the time we get to be with you again. Keep up the good work and may God bless you as you live out the life He wills for you. We're here for you every step of the way. May God bless you in a very special way on your 21st birthday as you're far from family and friends. We all wish we could be there with you!! We love you...

You spoke some beautiful words about your son and to your son! thank you for sharing them with us. As always, I am proud of our military and the way men and women still volunteer to serve our country and stand in the gap for the rest of us! May God bless him as he serves him so faithfully in our military.

WHAT A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN! And I know he's a kind, compassionate, generous, loving, proud of his family, caring, Christian man, too. When I called him on his birthday he was on his way home from church! I am proud of him, too. Proud to call him Grandson! Love, Mom
