Letter To Our Heroes

Letter To Our Heroes
Sons of America, heroes all, stand strong - stand tall! For the love of God and country made you answer the patriotic call. We are proud to call you our own, our exceptionally brave heroes. Deployed to strange lands, leaving behind loving mothers, children, and wives, facing many great dangers, trying your best to survive. Happy memories of childhood days seem to be far away in a distant past. But do not be discouraged; let God be your guide, as He will surely see you through. While I pray for my grandson, who is your comrade, I also pray for all soldiers far away from home - for those Missing in Action, and those in captivity, for all the “Unknowns,” for those who cannot say “God have mercy,” for all who are suffering from the devastation and cruelty of war, terrorism and other distressing calamities. May God's Holy Spirit be with you! We hope and pray that one day, you will all return safely to us, who will never stop loving you!
