Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle.
The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back…”You can go,” said the Lieutenant, “but don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away.”The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company’s trench.The officer checked the wounded soldier, 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, Sir,” said the soldier.
“What do you mean by worth it?” responded the Lieutenant.” Your friend is dead.””Yes Sir,” the soldier 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……. “Man…I knew you would come! “

We all have those people that are close to us and are special in our lives. But how many of us would be willing to save the life of a friend while giving up our own? It was once said “Greater love has no one than to lay down their life for a friend”. Let’s all be thankful for the friends that we have and value the time that we spend with them.
I Really love of this kind story 🙂

Friendship is such a special relationship, when you can be honest with each other, work through the disputes and be certain of the love that is shared between you. I’m lucky enought to have experienced that and wish it for everyone. This is a wonderful story and I agree that a true friend is so very important in today’s world.

What a beautiful themed story of sacrifice & love. You should consider reposting this on your site, & other networks, on something like Veterans day, then running it around Facebook, twitter, linkedon…. Things like this show honor to all the men and women who indeed have sacrificed. And this short story deserves being read by many!! Thank you for coming by our site. We’ve been absent as of late not doing many posts as we’re working on two separate books, one a novel one a compilation of short stories. We look forward to getting to know you better, & are headed now to knock around your site and read more of your work! 🙂
