The Journey Continues
The Journey Continues: Continuing remembrances from five years of columns
My journey this week is a continuation of memories from writing this column for five years. Faithful readers, you know I have written many columns on veterans, especially on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I am a Christian and a veteran — both are deeply woven into my journey. A soldier’s purpose is to protect life, not take life. I believe it is our privilege to remember the fallen and their families. “There blood may dry and fade, but it will always stain the hearts of loving families.” It has been my privilege to lead American soldiers in combat in The Republic of South Vietnam. In The New York Times, Thursday, April 14, I read remarks from veterans who served in Afghanistan over the past 20 years, and all these men shared both acceptance and regret over the Afghan withdrawal. Service to the nation has called for us to only place others above self. John 15:13 says: “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Veterans of all ages, you are invited to the “Veterans Patrol” meeting on April 26 at 7 p.m. at 325 W. McCarty Lane (First Baptist Church) where you will find “veterans standing together in faith to support each other for inner peace.” We share a camaraderie and fellowship.

Last Thursday, our nation celebrated Earth Day… a day designed to reflect on how wonderful our earth is to have all the natural resources we have been blessed with to make our life just that much more comfortable. Unfortunately, we shouldn’t have to be reminded of this on just one day a year, but every day of the year. 04/25/2021 05:00 AM
