Hi Shawn,Really like this - great story... Makes no difference to me, but some may say it would be more universal if you didn't nail down a specific conflict, then it would apply to all service women from any country or war. Do you have audio for this?Cheryl

I agree with Cheryl about not dateing the song so all listeners can relate.But then again I read we will be in Iraq until 2011.I like the lyrics and enjoyed the read. The only nit I have with the lyrics is the last chorus. (sad)(Are you proud__…of me__……Oh__ Daddy!!…I’m lying in this bed!!…Praying you'll be_____....proud___…of me____....*(Daddy)…...Are you proud_____ of......me_____?…...*(I love you Daddy!!)Maybe a tag: Daddy will you be proud of meJust my ideas, As I said I enjoyed the read and like where you are going with the song.Bill
