Notes
I finished this layout this morning. Will be another one in my hubby's military album. Funny ... he shaved his mustache about 4 or 5 months ago, so it was funny to see him with one in this picture.

The journalling is really just a new song by Toby Keith (My next husband ... when he realizes how much I love him LOLOL) called An American Soldier. It's on his new CD, but it was SO PERFECT ... every word of it is really how it is in the military, and how these "boys" feel.

Here's the lyrics:

I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yea, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yea I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
When they weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
Cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier I'm an American soldier

Yeah an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier I'm an American
An American
An American
