Since this country was founded and fought for, hundreds of thousands of Americans have died while serving for the United States of America. 

The American Civil War was witness to an estimated 655,000 deaths when our population was thirty-one million.  That would translate given our current population of over 334,000,000 to over 7,000,000 Americans sacrificing their lives today.  Seven Million!   

I provide this foundation in order to ask whether or not there is anything you would fight and die for?  Your family?  Your country?  Your religion?   

And depending on your answer, I am interested in the reason why or why not. 

There is a part of me that believes that being willing to die for something makes life different from those who do not believe there is anything worth dying for.  That it imparts upon those willing to sacrifice their life for something an internal operating system that adds another sail and more accurate rudder to one’s life “boat”.  That they have harbors of happiness, accomplishment, value, and success that are not as available or deep to those who are not willing to sacrifice themselves for any thing or reason.   

I am truly interested in your thoughts. 

Wishes for a great day to all, 

Hugs too,
