We forget sometimes just how young, and in many ways innocent, many of our soldiers are. They go, willing to lay down their lives for us; not having the slightest idea of how truly difficult that may be. Or even understanding the suffering that can come with being a soldier; they care far more about keeping us safe than keeping themselves safe. And yet they go anyway.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”-John 15:13
Young soldiers laughing and talking on a train as they leave home. All seen while praying The Rosary.
