"If you're reading this, then I've died in Iraq,I don't regret going. Everybody dies, but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, but it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so they can live the way we live."
Calvin and Hobbes these guys are the shit
Washington, Nov 21,1864Dear Madam,I have been shown in the files of the war department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I can not refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic that they have died to save.I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement,and leave you only the cherrish memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.Yours very sincerely and respectfully.A.Lincoln
