Debbie is the founder and President of America's Mighty Warriors. Her mission statement: "To honor, thank, support, and encourage the troops and their families and remember the sacrifice of my "Mighty Warrior" Marc Alan Lee, the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq. To accept the challenge from his last letter home and "pass on the kindness, the love, the precious gift of human life, through random acts of kindness" that will impact and honor our military, the fallen and their families for their selfless service and sacrifice." I know she would love to have your support... http://www.americasmightywarriors.org/ Lyrics: Not In Vain She held her baby tightly Walked between those hallowed rows Of familiar white tombstones Bearing names of our nation's heroes She found the one she was looking for With a heaviness in her chest Tears fell as she whispered "Here's where your daddy was laid to rest" She looked around saw others Who were mourning silently Somewhere in the distance The sound of "Taps" echoed in the breeze Flags were placed by grateful hearts Where every single hero lay Her eyes filled with tears as she said his name That's when she swore she heard him say: Don't cry, baby You will never be alone Lean on God to help you Find the strength to go on For our family and country I gave my life in freedom's name Please keep liberty's fire burning So all I gave was not in vain. That night she lay sleepless His words echoed in her mind She stared at the flag they gave her Kept on her nightstand by her side She heard her baby start to cry Wiped her own tears away Rocked her baby back to sleep Then fell to her knees to pray Dear Lord, I need you now Oh, I want to do my part To honor my baby's daddy Whom I loved with all my heart Help me overcome the challenges Sure to come my way She began to cry when once again She swore she heard her lover say: Don't cry, baby You will never be alone Lean on God to help you Find the strength to go on For our family and country I gave my life in freedom's name Please keep liberty's fire burning So all I gave was not in vain. Sleep finally embraced her She dreamt that he was there Wiping her tears away Whispering softly in her ear... Don't cry, baby You will never be alone Lean on God to help you Find the strength to go on For our family and country I gave my life in freedom's name Please keep liberty's fire burning So all I gave was not in vain. Keep the torch of freedom burning So all I gave was not in vain. Copyright 2011, Lisa Mei & BigDawg
