Why?

Posted in Flag Pole

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."
 
This was emailed to me with no author and I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome ...
