Thank you for helping me feel like a warrior in the Lord's army. What a wonderful badge to show we're with the Lord.

Wonderful article! I never thought of myself in this way. I always regretted not having had the opportunity to serve in the military and this has helped to assuage those feeling of regret. In fact, I remember an incident some 44 years ago when my missionary companion and I spoke with an older gentleman who castigated us for being missionaries instead of serving in the military at that time in our lives. I remember my companion being inspired to reply, "We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and, if everyone listened to and applied our message in their lives, there would be no need for ANYONE to serve in the military." What an inspired perspective!
