Sacrifice

Speaking of a family's sacrifice in the time of war, this scene from "Saving Private Ryan" never fails to move me deeply.



It is, indeed, an actual letter written by Abraham Lincoln to a woman whose five sons served in the Civil War. However, Lincoln was incorrectly told all five were killed in battle.

In truth, only two of the five sons died in battle. The other three survived the war.
