"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces,
and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I
discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly
saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me
until it was too late.
Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these
obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the
cause by writing editorials - after the fact."

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. |
