"Sept. 8, 2004 " ... has a dual meaning for me.
As a mom of a soldier, myself ... it's the anniversary date of my youngest son being sworn into the U.S. Army.
Sadly, later, it would become another anniversary date that I would be reminded of the cost of freedom again, as I came to know of another HERO, another one of America's sons, "Best of the Best"... another one "I Can't Forget!"
SGT. James Daniel Faulkner, 23 from Clarksville, Ind. gave his life in service to our nation!

" Her Hometown Heroes"
( Daniel's Song )
They were ... young,
But, they ... stood tall.
And, They were ... the BEST ... of us, ALL !
America's sons & daughters,
Husbands, wives ... sisters, brothers
Mothers, Fathers ... from all walks ... of life.
Marching on ... to a Higher call
Our "Hometown Heroes" ... Rise ... Fall,
Paving the way ... to Liberty
Defending ... Freedom's Ring!
( Chorus )
They were ... the BEST
That, she had ... to give!
Our "Hometown Heroes"
Who had barely ... begun ... to live.
When, they heard ... a Higher call
"Her Hometown Heroes" ... Rose up, one & ALL !
They were ... the BEST !
She had ... to give, "Her Hometown Heroes"
And, when ... they heard ... a Higher call
"Her Hometown Heroes" ... Rose again, and gave their ... ALL !
For America's son ...
