A Story of Truth for All To Hear. Soldiers give their all and when they are killed or die it goes unnoticed. Listen and watch the video to hear it all.

A beautiful tribute to all of our soldiers, living & dead, as no one will live forever….and as this man, all soldiers will someday die. God bless them all & call them so strong to accept Jesus that all will live forever in Heaven.
