4/17/2011 – Perry Beverly & Randy Brookins

Well Perry returned to Hawaii yesterday.   The family was so happy to have him return from Afghanistan safely.  We want to thank the Brazoria County Cavalry for making his return home special.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him grin so big.  Not only did the Cavalry recognize my son, but also my husband (Randy) along with the rest of the vets that attended.  It was quite a celebration.  Please continue to pray for Perry and the rest of the men and women that are keeping us safe.

TO UNCLE SAM:
Uncle Sam, I give my son to you,
A tall young lad, who you’ll find loyal, true;
He joins brave men who’ve come from far and wide
To keep aloft our heritage and pride.
These eighteen years, my boy has laughed and played;
Grew to young manhood eager, unafraid.
A way of life, blessed by the one above,
That he will guard with all his strength and love.
Uncle Sam, my son belongs to you,
Now proudly clad in uniform of blue;
When Victory’s won, and men again are free,
God willing, you will give him back to me.
