With fondness to all mothers. I think we can tell the make of a home, a community, and a nation by the character of the mothers. I would especially like to thank all of the Gold Star Mothers and those who have had, or now have children serving our country. YOUR children are protecting ours and making the world a better place for the children of mothers here at home and around the world. I doubt that we can ever fully understand your sacrifice, the heartache, the worry, etc... but i know we an appreciate it. God bless all mothers this day, especially those who are away from those they love, or those who have lost.
