Every generation thinks it will be the last to experience war. Surely, after World War I...surely after World War II, surely after Vietnam...
Yet, men and women still die. Mothers are still loosing their children to war. America still stands, protected because of their sacrifice.
This moving video was made "from a Viet Nam veteran to those who serve today."
In 1917, Our Lady appeared to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal and told them that "The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI." In 1917, the pope was Pope Benedict XV. He would serve as Pope until 1922. In 1922, Achille Ratti was elected Pope. He took the name of Pius XI and reined until his death after the start of World War II in February of 1939.
Pray the Rosary for Peace!
Our soldiers are remarkable people....
ReplyDeleteThey are. They sacrifice so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this. How much more Christ like can a man (or woman) be when they are willing to lay down their lives for others.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteNo fair making me cry. As you know my daughter is at Marine boot camp. She has a stress fracture of hip which has really set back graduation. When I asked her how she was doing one time she said I just keep singing " Praise You in This Storm". Thanks for the wonderful video.
ReplyDeleteOh, ((((C))))! Prayers for your daughter! Tell her thank you from us for her service.
