Those Who Gave Their All

"The greatest monuments around are not made of marbles or precious stones.  They're found in battle fields, deep under the sea, a rifle driven into the ground, with a helmet on top and some dog tags..."
(Quotes from Last Castle)

Yesterday, 15th Feburary, marked the day,
When the country I love, fell into the hands of a forgien owner.

And for no apperent reason,
many gave their lives.

As the war took its toll 68 years ago,
Remember those who gave it their all.

Who else gave it His all?

During the 2nd world war,
A father and son were walking down the street, past some houses.
On a few houses, was a picture of bright star hanging outside the window.

Son: Daddy, why do these houses have that start hanging outside the window?
Dad: Well, the star is hung in honor of a son or daughter in that family who went to fight the war for us, and died in the process.

At that moment, the son looks up in the sky, saw a star, points to it and ask
"Daddy Daddy look!  Did God sent His son to die for us as well?"
