A mother asked President Bush "Why did my son have to die?"
Another mother asked President Kennedy "Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?"
Another mother asked President Truman "Why did my son have to die in Korea?"
Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt "Why did my son have to die Iwo Jima?"
Another mother asked President W. Wilson "Why did my son have to die in France?"
Yet another mother asked President Lincoln "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"
Another mother asked President Washington "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"
Long, long ago a mother asked "Heavenly Father, why did my son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"
The answer to all of them is the same "So others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation, under God, Indivisible
With Liberty and Justice for all.
