A thought for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan

In a recent book on WW2 I ran across this small prayer that was carried by Eleanor Roosevelt during the war and it hit me between the eyes, This should still be valid today. This short sonnet was given to her by Canadian Wm Stephenson "Intrepid" of British Intelligence, most poignant.

 

Dear Lord-

Lest I continue

my complacent way

Help me to remember

somewhere out there

a man died for me today

 

As long as there be war

I then must ask and answer

Am I worth dying for?

 

 

Strong stuff
