FINAL MARCHING ORDERS

Soldiers, Sailors, Pilots, all are being called for one last meeting with the chief.

The numbers dwindle here on earth as they assemble in the armory on high to be given their final marching orders from our Commander God.

No bullets or bombs stock the shelves, there's not a gun in sight, instead the smiling faces of their friends and loved ones shine down like a full moon |ate at night.

They've all seen war, devastation, families broken, too many Mothers' tears shed.... the news of yet another death, its just too much to bear!

The Commander in Chief is stepping in and is calling on his troops to take up a new campaign ...as earthly souls sleep, whisper in their ears, remind them of love and peace and hope beyond despair. Remind their hearts just how to love and love each other well, and though it may take a little time it will bring us from war's hell.

George, this is your final mission, it is gentle and it is clear, and you will do it without fail, for sleeping souls to hear.... each night in our dreams we'll see your smile and with that we will know, that you are busy planting seeds of love, where war and hatred used to grow.

Taken from the pages of his original diaries, written under the most extreme conditions and bound to his body for safe-keeping.

The diaries offer an insightful look into the lives of the "Kriegies" who adapted to their unfavourable surroundings and created their own culture.
