Guts, God, & Glory

A tribute to the women and men who fought and died and never received their just honors or glories. And to the mommas and daddies that lost these children, this is their stories. To say the least war is hellish, ghoulish, and sometimes the last resort to settle irreconcilable differences. For it’s during these times the devil is let loose to wander freely, disguised as a mighty leader is just one way he can alter his many appearances. War is always given a just and noble cause, but I often wonder sometimes how much truth is in all of that. What it really boils down to is that someone is trying to push their ways or ideas on you and it eventually leads to combat. So what do you do when you are challenged with these issues. Pray to God for wisdom, seek strength, and courage, and hand momma the tissues. It’s always our children who are the first line of defense against these causes of war. Freedom has never come cheap, and that is the only explanation you can give someone who loses a loved one on some foreign shore. Could be we might be praising budda while eating that bowl of fish eyes and rice. Had that son or daughter of ours not paid the ultimate price. War should never be condoned but used only as a necessary tool. Only for God and country should it ever be used and never allowed in the hands of a fool. So I thank God for my country, and bless the ones that had to fall. Where would we be if these brave men and women had not answered the call.
