"He is American Citizen" as her mother whisper to me

As I visited the family of new immigration and refugees in my community, I shared with her about me, and she too shared with me about her.  She whistled in my ears with a soft voices, "I recently have a baby, and he is American Citizen."  I almost burst to tear as I know we all minority people from all walk of life that we so honor and happy to set our life on the land of the free, United States of America.

In leadership path, it takes generations for leader's path to be realize by people

As my dad stood still and saluted me and he showed me how soldiers saluted their leaders before they went on the mission.  He smiled at me as he smiled and sung the song, "Kia ba nao dang dung len nhu rang dong, dep nhu mat trang, ruc ro nhu mat troi, oai hung nhu dao binh ket hang vao tran, ba la ai..." 
A soldier's dream to stand and defend for Christ under protection and guidance of Mother Virgin Mary to protect his people, the country, and the value of human being.  I can't help knowing that for his walk in life he still remain truthfully for his leaders path with Catholic and St. Peter Church of Christ.  For generations he stills remain with his faith to take on the cross as he lives his life.  A dream of a soldier to come home with the country of freedom.
Probably the cry of so many young soldiers went to war to defend for freedom and for human value still a strong will in the heart of each soldier.
My dad lived a humble life with my family members and that I know in his heart he still has the responsibility to defend for freedom and the pride of faith. 
As a child, a daughter, in my youth, my dad already taught me about everything the war really was.  His voiced shake a little bit as he shared his feeling to others.  I personally felt the impact of the war that is a lesson in life that life is tough.
I strongly believe that the leader's path for his people is realize after years of moving on the path the leaders discover, and that it can take so many generations for the light to shine.  I still have hope, and that I still have hope even for so many years soldiers haven't come home yet that their work still present somewhere around the world to defend for truth, the light, the way upon Christ.
