Military: 8 Memorial Day Deaths in Iraq
When I opened my home page this morning, I skimmed over the headlines briefly and this one caught my eye. 8 deaths in Iraq???
Unfortunately, I (like many Americans), tend to forget that the men and women overseas really are in a lot of danger. This isn’t D-Day, with thousands of people dying at once, but slowly the death toll is rising. This, friends, is why millions are calling for the troops to come home.
At the same time, I have to wonder–how many civilian lives have they saved being there? Have they prevented another 9-11? Does this justify their deaths? We may never really have an answer to these questions.
To the mothers and fathers and children and spouses and friends out there, however, the number of deaths means less than the death of just one–the person they love. These are people. These are good people.
Even if you don’t agree with the war, even if you don’t agree with what the United States stands for, even if you believe that these men and women are misguided and shouldn’t have enlisted, don’t forget that these are people. Pray for the people, and pray for strong leadership that will make the right decisions. 8 sons/daughters/spouses lost their chance to come home yesterday.
