If you really know me, I am not religious or political. I am happy to be an American. And I thought this post makes a good point.
This should answer the question quite sufficiently. WHY?
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."
