The Flag Bearer - Casy Sheehan
Cindy Sheehan has announced that she will return toCrawford to continue her message that America is not worthy... In battles past at the sound of the trumpet a soldier designated to carry the flag in the battle would charge forward into the face of evil. The flag bearer represented the spirit of the soldiers in the charge and ensuing battle. There is no doubt that this war pits good mounting a charge against evil. In most cases before the battle the flag bearer volunteers to carry the flag. Therefore, all the soldiers in this days army are flag bearers as all volunteered to enter this battle against terror and possibley die young so that others may live a long and full life of freedom from fear and terror. Each time a flag bearing soldier falls as they surge forward in battle another soldier takes up the flag and continues the great charge holding the colors high for all to see. Cindy Sheehan has shamed her son who fell holding the colors by telling the others do not pick up the flag he bore in the charge. Cindy Sheehan says the colors her son died holding high representing the ideals of freedom, justice, liberty and peace is not worthy. But the day will come when at the sound of the trumpet these fallen who by then may have been forgotten will rise again and shout their names to remind the world that they are now eternal. And the voices of those who dishonored their valor while they were fallen will NOT have a voice on that day but will be silent forever. Posted by: RG 2005-08-20 |
