If not them, then who? If not us, then who? If not me, then who? It's mothers' who always beg this question . . .

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

A mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'

`

`
A mother asked this President..

'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?' 

`

`

A mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait ?' 

`

Another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam ?' 

`

 Another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die in Korea ?' 
`

`

`

Another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima ?' 
`

`

 Another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France ?' 
`

`

 Yet another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg ?' 

`

`

And yet another mother asked this President...

'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field 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 answer has always been the same . . . . .

`

'So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, liberty, and freedom.'

I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.

 

If you are not willing to stand BEHIND our troops,

 Please, please feel free to stand in front of them....
