This is an email my sister sent to the Soldiers! Because of all the prayers and support I have been given throughout this journey, I had to put it hear! I have been laughing and crying all morning, but 'um good!

Army soldiers are always taught:

1) Keep your priorities in order and,

2) Know when to act without hesitation.

A soldier in the army was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day he shocked the class when he came in, looked to the ceiling, and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, " Here I am God, I'm still waiting.

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Soldier got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold ed him' knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Soldier went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Soldier and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Soldier calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid sh** and act like an ***hole. So he sent me."
