Inspirational Short Story
A Story to Share - True Friend
Horror gripped the heart of the World War 1 soldier as
he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a
trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head,
the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into
the "no man's land" between the trenches to
bring his fallen comrade back.
"You can go," said the lieutenant,
"but i don't think it will be worth it. Your friend
is probably dead and you may throw your life away."
The lieutenant's advice didn't matter, and the soldier
went anyway. Miraculously he managed to reach his friend,
hoist him onto his shoulder and bring him back to their
company's trench. As the two of them tumbled in together
to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the
wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend.
"I told you it wouldn't be worth it,"
he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally
wounded." "It was worth it, though, sir,"
said the soldier. "What do you mean; worth it?"
responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead"
"YES, Sir" the private answered. "But it
was worth it because when i got to him, he was still alive
and i had the satisfaction of hearing him say, "JIM........,
I KNEW YOU'D COME."

Many times in life, whether a thing is worth
doing or not, really depends on how u look at it. Take
up all your courage and do something your heart tells
you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later
in your life.."May each and every one of you be blessed
with the company of TRUE FRIENDS." "A true friend
is one who walks in, when the rest of the world walks
out." War doesn't determine who's right. War only
determines who's left.
