Cindy Sheehan 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 -- "that others may have life and

dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
