Old E-mails mean something

I was sittin' here just now lookin' through some old e-mails and I saw one that I really wanted to read. It was a music video. The song is called "If I Die Before You Wake". A guy, while on duty in Iraq wrote it. Here are the lyrics,
Back home now I know you're probably sleepin' Over here it's the middle of the day I finally found the time to write a letter Sittin' here a half a world away
I heard about all them folks protestin' As if I really want this war But that don't stop me from believin' There's just some things worth fightin' for
CHORUS And if I die before you wake, I pray the world will take A good look at what God's given us That we could only understand, everything is in his hands. All we need is a little faith and trust I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay If I die before you wake
Tell everybody that I miss them And I can't wait to get back home But until then I'll serve my country And be proud to wear this uniform
CHORUS No it ain't too high a price to pay If I die before you wake.
It is a really sad song and it really gives you a slap in the face of what's really out there and what we are facing. I heard someone say once that if they die tomorrow they would rather die serving this country than in a fight. I agree with that because if you are in a fight and you die that is like a sin but, if you die fighting for this country that is serving everyone in this country and protecting us. Our country is sacred and we need to cherish that and not just throw it all away. You know, I may not like this war but, since there is nothing I can do about it we should make the best of it anyway. Our country s sacred! Don't throw it away!!!!
