I've made this video for Mother's Day, featuring a slow and pretty country music love ballad track, in particular for Moms with family overseas and in harm's way. We tie our ribbons for you. This is a yellow ribbon for you for Sunday, May 11, 2008... God bless you for your sacrifice. My aunt was a nurse in the Australian Army who got wounded by schrapnel moving the wounded, in the Phillipines, during WWII. It was a Japanese bomb. My dad was with her, a young man. He was a drummer in his youth for a jazz band in Australia, and loved Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, all the Big Band Era stuff. But I caught him repeating rap lines once! They both loved America and would have held our old American flag up to counterprotest the Westboro Baptist Church if they were still around. Actually dad might have done more than that, he was a tough cookie and his best friend was a sherrif's deputy who was a US veteran, our closest family friend. Frank would have joined him on THAT mission I imagine.

Anna Jarvis was the lady who promoted Mother's Day as a holiday. She demonstrated against those who commercialized it, and never married or had kids. But Happy Mother's Day to you anyway, Anna Jarvis. Millions of Moms thank you for your gift.

  • thank you for this wonderful tribute. I am so ashamed of those that dishonor by picketing military funerals.

    Jesus said the most important commandment was to LOVE one another. How can they call themselves Christians when their hearts are so full of hate?

  • They should put an adjective before that word. You're welcome, Vickie!

  • Kreed1, thanks for reminding me what a tearjerker I made this to be. That's what I get, I forgot and just watched this and got all teared up!
