A Mother asked President Bush, "Why did my Child have to die in Afghanistan?" Another Mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my Child have to die in Vietnam?" 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. |

Anthony, I am very sorry for the loss of your son. Mary, I know how close you were to Josh as a step-mom as well. To you and the kids, I offer my condolences and I pray that you are comforted by the Lord. In the book of John it states
" no greater love has he who lays' down his life for his loved ones", Josh not only laid down his life for those he loved but also for the country that he also loved, so that our nation and our freedoms will continue to be preserved. I and this great nation, offer our heart felt condolences as our hearts break for the loss of another American hero.
I Love You
