Find the will to fight  By Jeff Jackson (04/12/04)

It was a bloody week for Americans in Iraq.  As progress is being made and the date of turn over of the government draws near, those that are the enemies of free men have begun to strike in a last ditch effort to win the day for evil.  They have killed, maimed and kidnapped.  They have done everything that evil knows how to do.

War is never simple and despite what video games and other fantasies teach us, death is all too real.  One American soldier dead defending liberty is far too many because there is no real reason why anyone should have to die for freedom.  No real reason that is except that evil exists and that that evil seeks to destroy liberty and enslave the human soul.

Not fighting the evil is not an option either simply because to live life without liberty is not to live but to be enslaved.  It is in these times that our hearts, our minds and our souls are put on trial.  But in this trial, we are our own jury.  We are our own judge.  Do we give up?  Do we cut and run?  Do we say to the evil that they have won this battle and slink back into our homes hoping and praying for a peaceful tomorrow?

No.  Because we cannot.  Evil only spreads when those of virtue choose to let it.  And to drop our guard, to leave our tasks unfinished is to choose to let evil spread.  To do so is to make a pact with the evil and become evil ourselves.

Our men and women in uniform to the last man that signed up for service know that one day they may be called to defend this country, shed their blood and even lay to rest their souls on foreign ground as a show of duty and honor for this country.  For they understand that like those before them, blood must be shed and tears must be wiped away in order that their children will have the opportunity to live in a world with a little less evil than exists today.

And if even they give this world a little less evil to have to face they have done their duty for God and for country.  Do not dishonor them.  Finish the job and complete the tasks at hand.  Do not be afraid to see the golden ring and do not be afraid to strive for it beyond all else.  Never retreat from evil.  And never ever surrender to it.
