Cindy: Hi God, it's me again.
God: Hi Cindy, always nice to hear from you.
Cindy: God, I have another favor to ask.
God: What is it this time my friend?
Cindy: Well, today is Memorial Day.
God: Yes, I know and am glad you remembered.
Cindy: I have asked for many favors in the past for family and friends.
God: I see. So, this favor is for yourself this time?
Cindy: Yes God
God: You don't usually ask for favors for yourself. Have I not given you enough?
Cindy: Yes God and I thank you. But this favor is special.
God: I'll be the judge of that.
Cindy: What I am asking for is impossible.
God: Nothing is impossible.
Cindy: My favor is, I just wish I could somehow thank every man and woman who has fought for ME in the past and will still be in the future and for allowing me the freedom that I love so much!
God: Cindy, you already have and are still thanking them as we speak.
Cindy: How is that God?
God: Cindy, I am standing by your side right this minute and I see the tears on your face as we speak. I am feeling your every emotion and know how thankful you are. Just by talking to me, your voice has been heard by many who are already here and I will pass your words on to those who are still there for you.
Cindy: Thank you God.
God: No Cindy, thank you. This favor is on me and will be granted.
Cindy: Amen

Joe,
Thanks for that story it meant a lot to me. Having a brother in law, and two nephews over seas I can say. God Bless our troops and God Bless America.
For those that liked this... you should read Mark Twain's "War Prayer".
