Thank you for another excellent article Will! There are so many good life lessons in Lord of the Rings.

Our founding fathers, and other American Patriots throughout the history of our country also displayed the selfless, sacrificial love that you talked about by being willing to defend, and in many cases, even lay down their lives for our freedom.

The ultimate example of sacrificial love is Jesus, and not only did He teach us about what true love is (John 15:13), but He also lived and exemplified it by giving up His life and dying a brutal death to redeem us.

Please keep your articles coming, I always enjoy reading and learning from them! Thanks again, and God bless!

Hi Will,

You may not remember, but I met you at the Turning Point USA event at CSUN Fall of 2018. You spoke very well that day. This piece, however, is truly something.

The Lord of the Rings fandom is my all time favorite. The books, the original Trilogy Movies, the music from the movies. I tear and choke up sometimes watching The Return of the King.

This piece you wrote about death and facing it courageously in honor of Bernard Hill’s portrayal of King Théoden was very moving for me. You are a fantastic writer. Prompts me to want to do writing on the side.

Proud of you bro, good sir.
