Faith of Our Fathers Page #6

Stay to my left.

Stay alert.

Stay alert.

Thank you, Sarge.

All right,

I'm going in there, Stevie.

You cover me.

Okay, I got you.

Go!

Eddie?

Eddie, how's it look?

Oh no.

Get back.

Eddie, that's

attached to claymores.

I'm gonna get some bamboo

and prop that wire.

Don't move.

- Henderson?

- Sarge?

I'm going in.

You stay on that radio.

Got it, Sarge.

All right,

I'm coming in behind you.

Carefully.

Hold still.

Here we go.

Stevie!

Adams, gel out of there now!

That's an order.

Stevie, we gotta go, man.

You're gonna make it.

Come on, come on!

Hang on.

Stevie, get on your feet.

Come on, let's go!

Stay low, I'll be back.

Hey man, you still there?

Yeah.

You take that for me?

No man, I slipped.

Hey, do you...

Do you think I still have time

to make that choice?

You think Jesus won't

think I cheated on him?

No.

When Jesus died on the cross, a

thief asked him the same thing.

What did he say?

"On this day, you will

be with me in paradise."

Forgive me, Jesus.

Hi see you in paradise, Steve.

Your fathers died bravely,

serving their country.

When t got back to the States,

K catted your mother, John.

Let her know

I had Steven's last letter.

She asked me to hold onto it

until she was ready.

I guess it was just

a little too emotional for her.

Then I'd teamed she passed,

so after awhile I thought

it'd be all right to open it up.

That's when I learned

it wasn't written to her.

It was written to you.

Dear John Paul,

I may seem far away from you,

but I think about you every day.

I wanted to tel! you not to

be afraid of life's journey.

'(nu w! have

both good times and bad,

but know that God is there

through them all.

He loves you more than

1 ever could, John Paul,

and! love you

with all my heart.

I'm already so proud of you.

I'm proud that God gave you

to me and your mom.

And know that you've got

my biggest Messing

to be who God intends you to be.

No matter what, son,

know that I love you

and that Jesus loves you.

You can trust him

with your heart, John Pam,

have.

I can't wait to see you again.

Until then.

Love, Dad.

performing "Who I Am?

The winds have changed I

I think I'm headed for

a breakthrough in my life

The weather's clearing I

And God knows

We been haunted

By this lingering storm I

Afraid of coming undone I

It's been a long, long time

Since We Soaked inside I

Do I really

wanna see myself?

Do I?!'

What is this?

This rearranging desires I

Unraveling these wires I

It takes a long, long time I

To see what's inside I

It's your last letter.

No, ifs addressed to you.

You should read it.

"Dear Wayne, this is your dad.

"I don't really know

what to say.

"I've always struggled

with my belief in God.

"But I'm thinking about

thinking about it.

There's a verse that my friend

Steven keeps telling me about."

Your dad got my dad

to read the Bible?

"If you confess your sins,

"Jesus is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins

"and to cleanse us

from all unrighteousness.

"Ain't that something?

"Because he loves you,

"he loves you

as much as I love you

"and he died for you just like

I would die for you, Wayne.

"I asked Stevie what's next,

and he told me

"that's exactly

what God is waiting for.

"What will I choose next?

"There's a lot more I want to

say, but now's not the time.

"I love you, Wayne,

and I miss you.

Dad."

I love you too, Daddy.

This is my father's Bible.

May I?

Of course.

At some

point in fife, everyone struggles

to understand

who they really are.

For me, it started with

wondering who my dad was.

Oh this journey

I teamed that he loved me,

and his example

gave me a glimpse

of something far greater.

I have a heavenly Father

who loves me

more than an earthly father

ever could.

That's what my dad taught me

oh the way to The Watt.
