FOR THIS I AM THANKFUL!


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


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


And yet another mother asked 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....

Thank you Dave for sending me this reminder on such a thankful day! ((((hugs))))

Great thooughts. I am thankful there is the idea that one day Mothers will no longer have to ask such questions because there will be no need.

The problem is Indigo is that the left NUTHOUSE group thinks there is no need NOW!!! :P

Yeah, they're like the crazy guy with sandwch board that read "The End Is Near". No it's not, but he can't convinced. And neither can the peaceniks be convinced that other exist who do want to kill anyone not agreeable to their philosophy.
