As the young soldier took his final breath a Heavenly Angel stood at his side.
"Be at peace HONORABLE SOLDIER; the Father is calling you home."
With a saddened look on his face the young soldier dropped his head, "My mission isn't complete. My family needs me here. This country is still in shambles and my brothers are shedding tears. I know that I have no wife or children, but these 11 men are my family. I know that this place isn't HEAVEN, but serving in this HELL with them is what I truly love."
The Angel smiled so proudly at the spoken words of the young soldier, "GOD knows the desire and love in your heart. He also knows the great sacrifice that you were willing to make. You laid down your life this day to save the life of your fellow man and your willingness to take a stand. For this you have earned your place in HEAVEN. For your unselfishness you have been granted one BLESSING of your choice."
The young soldier didnt hesitate he let out a heavy sigh as he looked around at all his BROTHERS as they hovered over him and continued to cry, "I can have one BLESSING... I only need just one. These 11 men are the only family I have ever known. My one and only BLESSING is for them to return safely home."
The Angel began to weep as he felt the unwavering bond of brotherhood and love.
As the young solider looked at his family knelt at his side. He knew they would all return home safely because of the unselfish sacrifice that he made that day. He look over at the weeping Angel, "GOD's Army Is Calling...now it's time to go!"
