“A Faithful Soldier”
 
By

Bobbi Miller Moro and Robert Salazar  
 
Molly Gonzalez is inspired by the courage the armed forces
 .
demonstrate on a day to day basis Six years ago Molly was
 .
experiencing a sad time in her life Her mother was terminally ill and
 . ,
there was a word that kept coming up for her That word was faith
 .
only it was in Spanish In Spanish it has two letters and it is simply
 "". ‘’ ,
FE Molly wrote the word Fe on a piece of paper and it became
 .
her symbol of faith The message was loud and clear to her as she
 . ; ,
explained “All I needed to get through my pain was faith faith in life
 . ,
in love and in the Universe ” She started doodling one day creating
 .
a beautiful symbol and that word became her symbol of Faith
 
 
Her friend Justin saw the symbol and wanted to embellish it onto his
 , .
dog tag and he “just loved it” It was a reminder to him to never lose
 .
hope and always have faith He took the dog tags with him to Iraq
 .
and he personalized them for the soldiers there He said that along
 
with his deployment there will be men leaving their newborn children
 
and fiancés and wives behind and they will need a little extra hope
 
and faith to get through and reach that point of peace on the front

passion is to bring awareness to the spouses who also serve their
 .
families Molly believes our men and women need support and that
 
“we flourish as human beings when we are loved and supported by
 .
those closest to us It will bring a little recognition to the ones who
 . .
serve in silence ” Molly elaborated
 
“The husbands and wives who
 
hold their families together while their spouses are on the front lines
 .
deserve recognition of their own ”
