GOD watched in sadness at the carnage and devastation in Europe and quickly realized that they would need help.
He looked down on Texas, at the 36th Infantry Division, and decided they would be first among his champions. He prepared a great Banner to fly in Heaven in their honor. He chose the fabric from Texas and then wove in material from all the remaining states, for he knew as the Texans fell, men from many places would replace them; and he wanted those men to feel, as one, a kindred spirit. He then took his Banner and seasoned it in the heat of Africa, the rains of Italy and the cold of France and Germany. He tempered it in the fire of ongoing battles and when it was finished it was unfurled and flew proudly in Heaven. GOD then took pieces of the Banner and placed them in the heart and soul of every T Patcher so it would be a part of every warrior and though they would be vastly different in all regards they would still be as one bound together by his Banner. Eventually. GODs Banner was all gone and so GOD waited as the conflagration and sacrifices began and small pieces of the Banner began returning and as each T Patcher left this veil of tears he brought his piece of Banner back. Now that magnificent Banner is almost complete and ready to fly. One day soon in the not too distant future, the Banner will be unfurled again and flying in all its splendor over the reunited ranks of the chosen men of the 36th Infantry Division who have rejoined their friends, family and comrades, and GOD will smile.
