       Military Story: True Friend

       Horror gripped the heart of the World War I 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 saying, “Jim…, I knew you’d come.”

       Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not,
       really depends on how u looks 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.
