The Soldier's Mother Creed

THE SOLDIER’S MOTHER CREED

“I AM THE MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER”

I GIVE MY COMPLETE AND UNWAVERING SUPPORT TO MY SOLDIER.
AS MY SON SERVES THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, SO I
HUMBLY OFFER UP MY PRAYERS FOR HIS SAFETY AND THE SAFETY
AND HEALTH OF THOSE HE SERVES BESIDE.

I RESPECT HIS CHOICE TO ADHERE TO A STRICT MORAL CODE
AND SYSTEM OF VALUES THAT HAS PRESERVED OUR GREAT
COUNTRY FOR OVER TWO CENTURIES.
I ACCEPT THAT MY SOLDIER’S FIRST DUTY IS TO HIS COUNTRY
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT HIS SACRIFICE HE WILLINGLY MAKES
IS WHAT KEEPS OUR NATION GREAT.

I WILL NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING BUT THE BEST FROM MY SOLDIER
FOR I KNOW HE IS CAPABLE. I KNOW THAT A SOLDIER’S HEART IS
TRUE AND STRONG, AND THAT MY SOLDIER WILL ENDURE.

I WILL NEVER ABANDON MY SOLDIER, MY SON, MY LOVE.
I WILL LOVE HIM UNCONDITIONALLY. HE WILL KNOW I AM
THERE FOR HIM, EVEN WHEN HE IS ALONE.

I AM DISCIPLINED, EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY TOUGH,
LEARNING TO WAIT FOR PHONE CALLS AND LETTERS
OR EMAILS HOME. I, LIKE MY SOLDIER, AM AN EXPERT.

I STAND READY TO DO WHAT EVER I CAN DO TO LET MY
SON, MY SOLDIER, KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE FOR HIM.
BESIDE HIM, WE LOVE HIM AND I WILL PRAY FOR SWIFT
DESTRUCTION OF THE ENEMIES OF OUR COUNTRY.
I AM THE PERSON WHO STOOD GUARDIAN OF THIS MAN
WHO HAS BECOME MY SOLDIER, NOW OUR GUARDIAN OF
FREEDOM AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.
