I wonder how many of our own soldier's made that comment in all the years of fighting - I regret that I have but one life to give for my country? It's an honorable statement made back then but in reality - nobody wants to die that I know of. Today the only folks I know that want to die are those with incurable diseases where their illness's have no cure and they linger in pain for months to many years becoming more and more incapacitated year after year and suffering all that time. I've watched many old timers & some young ones suffering from terrible medical issues with little chance of a normal life. They feel they've become a burden on those who care for them and struggle to get release from these God awful issues that have taken away their lively hoods, being able to walk and talk like everyone else. To go outside and breath fresh air - to see the things they've missed in life.

Nathan Hale will be remembered - but how many of those who struggle each day some year after year just wanting it to end! If there is a God in Heaven - then he should allow them a release from their burdened world so that they may rise again in Heaven in a whole spirit of wellness. I'm not overly religious but I do know that this would be better than suffering for many years with no chance of ever being normal again.
