Sacrifice...for what?

Sacrifice for … what? He’s a Hero, a soldier, esteemed unto the bitter end. His body lies bloodied and broken, never will it mend. Fighting hard and giving all, upon this horrid battle field The air is thick and makes me sick, though it is very stilled... Who is there left to mourn, and shed the tears for him? A wife, a child? A sound of taps plays reverent, slow and dim. A tribute to all soldiers fighting for freedom…My son Paul is among them IlaMae Stucki – 3/18/2010
