Truly One Of The Best E Mails I Have Seen:

A mother asked this President...        'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'

A mother asked this President..         'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?'


A mother asked this President...         'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait ?'


Another mother asked this President...        'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam ?'


Another mother asked this President...       'Why did my son have to die in Korea ?'


Another mother asked this President...     'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima ?'


Another mother asked this President...     'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France ?'


Yet another mother asked this President...       'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg ?'


And yet another mother asked this President...     'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge ?'

Then long, long ago, a mother asked..


'Heavenly Father . why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem ?'

The answer is always the same...  'So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.'

This was emailed to me with no author.  I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.

If you are not willing to stand BEHIND our troops,

Please, please feel free to stand in front of them....

Until next time...

Very thoughtful. It is important to help our kids understand the contribution and sacrifices of our armed forces.
