How I pray for peace, but peace with honor. How
I pray that the extremist Islamic terrorists will be
stopped by the mighty hand of the true God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. - I think of the sadness
of my dear Dad with tears when he thought of his
fallen buddies even when he was in his eighties.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!

That is a beautiful post.

I have seen many a grizzled veteran weep openly at the thought of comrades lost decades ago.

Lord, be with the men who have to watch their buddies suffer and die in a far-off land. Give them the peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen.
