Uncertainty and dreaded expectation is the worst type of torture and who fits into that category more than mother?

When GI Joe is away from the hot lead if even for a short time, he is temporarily at ease, knowing that for that short time he is safe. Not so with his mother. She is on the constant alert. She is still up front, never knowing when those death-dealing implements are headed Joes' way. She is praying for his every breath, his very being. She gave this boy life, and her very soul is praying that it won't be taken away by the cruelities of a madman's dream of devastation. She is the only soldier in the world who is always at the front, facing the perilous dangers.

To her belongs every medal ever given, every honor and every prayer for a world peace.
