All with a common goal.
To make our country a better place.

My job is complex
with inherent risks and dangers.
Yet I thrive
’cause I love and nurture,
as only I can.
I am the backbone of America.
An unknown hero.
I am humble
I sacrifice.
My reward not measured in dollars
but in love.
I am simple but complicated.
As only I can be.
I give all as many have before me.
For country
For family.
For self.
For I am
A Parent.
