Dear Soldiers: to Everyone who must face war with love.

Going to war, soldiers don't only risk dying.  They risk  living ...the life that they left at home, in order to protect that home while overseas.  There is a  different kind of strength and hero who was left home to take care of business here.

My beloved wife, Erica, was so thankful when my military contract was over.  Six years done.  Complete.  On to the rest of our lives.

But that experience is not tossed aside.  After additional   training is completed, perhaps I will return to the military.  But not until Erica, my beloved, says ok, amen:  yes I will support you.  Recently, she's been continuing that promise, "I do."  The angels sing of her commitment and love.

Therefore I dedicate the following dance (of Joshua Allen and Katee Taira Shean) and song (by Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks) to everyone who must face war with love.

(Intro:)  Tell me how I'm suppose to breathe with no air ...

(Jordin verse 1:)
If I        Should die        Before        I wake,
Its cause        You took        My breath        Away.
Losing you is like living in a world with no air

(Chris verse 2:)
I'm here        Alone        Didn't want        To leave.
My heart won't move        It's incomplete.
Wish there was a way that I can make you to understand,

(Hook 1:) 
But How        Do you expect me
To live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you,
Its so hard for me to breathe.

(Chorus:)
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air.
Can't live, can't breathe with no air.
That's how I feel when I know you ain't there.
There's No Air ,No Air.
Got me out here in the water so deep.
Tell me how you gon' be without me.
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe.
Its No Air No Air.
No air air (x4)

(Chris Verse 3:)
I Walked        I Ran        I Jumped        I Flew
Right off        the ground,        To float        to you.
There's no gravity, To hold me down, For real.

(Jordin Verse 4:)
But Somehow        I'm still        alive        inside.
You took        my breath,        But I        survived.
I don't know how, But I don't even care.

(Hook 2:) So How,
Do you expect me,
To live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you,
Its so hard for me to breathe.

(Variations of Chorus Repeats, then Bridge)
Tell Me How I'm supposed to breathe with no air.
Can't live can't breathe with no air.
That's how I feel when I know you ain't there.
It's No Air No Air.

Got me out here in the water so deep.

Tell me how you gon' be without me.

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe.

There's No Air No Air
No air air. (x 4)
