Passed on to me and I pass it on in turn. (and I completely endorse her feelings in this matter!)
(The appendix is by far the finest statement printed today!)
A mother asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"
Another mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my son have to die in Viet Nam?"
Another mother asked President Truman,"Why did my son have to die in Korea?
Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"
Another mother asked President W. Wilson,"Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"
Yet another mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"
And yet another mother asked President G.Washington,Why did my son have to die 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 answers to all these are similar --
"So that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
This was emailed to me with no author and I
thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome
Love to All
IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS,
PLEASE, FEEL FREE... TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM !!!
Quotes of a leader
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth. How fortunate for leaders that men do not think. Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong. Who says I am not under the special protection of God? The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force. The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.
It was Adolf Hitler!
