An Inspirational Young Soldier

Take a few minutes and read Sgt. Lizzie’s Blog for an inspirational and introspective view on the front lines in Iraq. Sgt. Lizzie is now recovering from injuries sustained when a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) hit her convoy truck. The driver was killed and Sgt. Lizzie hung upside down pinned for forty-five minutes until fellow soldiers were able to cut her out.

No matter what your feelings are about this war let us not forget our soldiers in “Harms Way.” They and their families need our continued support and prayers. For a better look at why soldiers fight and die, we have to travel back in time to the history of the Civil War. The Pulitzer Prize winning author, James M. McPherson in his book, For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War, gives us a new insight into this question and remains as true today as it was then.
