Simply Put

"Simply Put"


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 VietNam?"


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.


No I didn't write this one...it was e-mailed to me with no author;

and I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome...
