To the family of Michael Shipman, I thank you for your son's service to his country. Men like him have put their safety before others to make sure this country stays safe. He will never be forgotten as he has been given the "Stand Down" order and gone on to his reward. May the peace that passeth understanding be with you during these trying times. I regret that I won't be able to attend personally but will be there in spirit. |

Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |
