SECONDS BEFORE A GI DIES

We cannot know a soldier's last thought after the fatal shot is fired. To what heights he aspired? What mattered moments before his dreams were shattered, his blood splattered haphazardly, his body washed into the sea.

He felt the bullet in his head, knew he would soon be dead, in the night of his demise he looked up to the star-filled sky and saw God waiting patiently.

So much will die with this GI who didn't even ask God why.
