Letter of a soldier to God (Falklands Islands commemoration)
Hello
Maybe some of you know that on april 2nd here in Argentina we commemorate the falkland Islands war aniversary, a very sad date for our people.
I just would like to translate one of most thrilling letters from a soldier to God. His name is Marcelo Daniel Massad, one of 649 soldiers dead in Monte Longdon's battle in 1982, june 11. This letter was found in his jacket's pocket:
Listen God
I never spoke with you, today I want say hello. How are you?
you know that? tell me that you not exist and I was so stupid because I believed that it was true.
Last night I saw your heaven. I was hiding in a granade's hole...
¡Who would say that for see you just must put the back to the floor!
I don't know if you want give me the hand yet. At least I think that you understand me.
Is unusual before I not found you. Now I find you in a hell like this.
Well I have said it all. Although the battle wait us soon, God I have not fear. Since I discovered that you are close.
The signal! well God I have to go. I forgot tell you.. that i love you
The fight will be terrific... in this night... Who know? Maybe I Knock your heaven
I understand that I have not been your friend but, do you wait for me if I go there?
Look at me God I am crying. I have discovered you so late! I so sorry!
It's rare. Without fear I go to the death. I must go. Good luck!
