Blood Spilled for Freedom

Pastor Paton discusses his visit to Philadelphia's Historic District:

"On the lawn opposite the Liberty Bell we were drawn to the display of combat boots and civilian shoes. A group had carefully arranged the boots: one pair for every fallen American soldier in the latest Iraq war per state. Next to a few of those boots were pictures of the dead soldiers.

I gulped with wet eyes at how once again this country has offered the cream of its youth to topple a tyrant and to give the Iraqi people a chance to be free."
