The Price

“There’s times, son, when men have to fight – to save the things they hold dear. “


-Quote by General John Pershing’s father towards the end of the Civil War, 1864.


Let me ask you something. Is there something in your life that you hold so dear, that you are willing to lay your life on the line to keep it?

In our world today that is full of war and rumors of war, there are men and women that take this quote and live by it. The men and women of our armed forces are living this quote out. Despite the chaos back here at home, despite the many people that belittle their job, despite those that say they want to protect them more by bringing them home, despite the fact that Death stares them in the face…they fight because they hold dear something in this world.

There will come a day though, when you will also be asked whether you believe the above quote or not. Death will be staring you in the face. You will be asked if you will sit down or continue standing.

So, what are you willing to die for?
Or are you even willing to die?
