A young widow

A mother to be

A father not able to see his baby born

A life lost too soon

Only 19 and already a hardened man

A flag handed to a weeping wife

A baby girl brought into the world on his birthday

A little girl without her father

A sweet baby with his blue eyes, only able to see her daddy
through pictures and stories

War tore her from his arms before he was ever able to hold
her

A guarding angel to his beautiful daughter 

And to his soul mate left to raise her without him
