A mother asked President Lyndon Johnson, "Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?"

A mother asked President Harry Truman, "Why did my son have to die in Korea?"

A mother asked President Franklin Roosevelt, "Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?"

A mother asked President Woodrow Wilson, "Why did my son have to die in France?"

A mother asked President Abraham Lincoln, "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"

Long, long ago, a mother asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"

The answer is the same: "So that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom."
