Theodore Roosevelt's Warrior Code

I’ve been reading Stephen Mansfield’s book, The Faith of the American Soldier. The book quotes President Theodore Roosevelt, who composed a message for a pocket New Testament sent to the troops in the first World War:

“The teaching of the New Testament is foreshadowed in Micah’s verse, “He has shown you, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: but to do justice and to love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

Do justice; and therefore fight valiantly against those who stand for the reign of Molech and Beelzebub on this earth.

Love mercy; treat your enemies well, suffer the afflicted, treat every woman as though she were your sister, care for the little children, rescue the perishing, and be tender with the old and helpless.

Walk humbly; you will do so if you study the life and teaching of the Savior, walking in His steps.

Remember, the most perfect machinery of government will not keep us as a nation if there is not within us a soul, no abounding of material prosperity shall avail us if our spiritual sense is atrophied. The foes of our own household will surely prevail against us unless there be in our people an inner life which finds its outward expression in a morality like unto that preached by the seers and the prophets of God when the grandeur that was Greece and the glory that was Rome still lay in the future.”—
President Theodore Roosevelt

Here's the
"Soldier's Psalm"

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me...
Part your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke,
Send forth lightning and scatter the enemies;
shoot your arrows and rout them."

Check out this free sample of mp3 song, Stand UP:"The singers you will hear on the CD include: retired Air Force, active duty Coast
Guard, former Marine, former Navy, and the parents of a currently deployed Army young man. This husband and wife stood in for their Army son as well as all military families when they sang. In addition a woman whose now-deceased father was a Korean War vet sang on behalf of all the generations who have gone before to encourage the current generation of military and another woman as a mother of young children sang on behalf of the generations to come that there has always been a price for freedom.

Enjoy STAND UP! If you are military, thank you for your sacrifices for our freedom! If you are simply persevering through your own struggle, be encouraged. The battle is the Lord’s and let freedom ring!"--http://cdbaby.com/cd/efulgaro
