Thoughts From Bob

 

I watched some of my friends get killed World War II in France.  You never forget those thoughts.

We had just fought our way through the seigfried line. We thought the battle was over. We were on a service path the Germans had used to supply the pillbox like fortifications. The Germans began to drop mortars on that path. We were in sort of a single file I was about five feet behind a kid from Illinois.   

He got hit in the belly with a mortar shell and it blew him clear in two!  I’m sure he never felt anything because it was all over in an instant.  I can still see his naked foot lying on the ground in front of me.  How the explosion lifted the foot and part of his leg out of his combat boot I will never know.  Sergeant Big Bill from the state of Maine went back the next day and picked up some of the pieces and put them in a mattress cover so the graves registration crew could pick him up.

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In God! We Trust’ on our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance.  

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE  REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I believe it’s time we stand up for what we believe!
