Please God don't let me die today. I need to protect them and I will try. But God I'm scared I want to end this war and go home. I will fight to protect them but please God don't let me die. Today my brother in arms took your hand he said he could see you. Please God don't let me die. I must continue to live and fight on for their sake, for his sake, and for freedom. I don't care if some don't understand, or how they spit at me they don't understand why I fight. Please God don't let me die. I was captured today a prisoner of war, lend me your strength like you do everyday. Please God don't let me die. I need to go home and be with them. I will protect them until this war ends. Please God don't let me die not yet. I got home today they held me for hours amd I held them. Thank you God for not letting me die. I miss my brothers though why did you let them die ? They said the same prayer as me. Today I understand God that their death was not in vain they protected their family's and freedom till they could be with you. I look forward to seeing them again and with their family's will remember.What they gave for us, till I once again can be with them.
