Chaplains Message

This past month we have lost two medics in the war on terror...floods in the mid-section of our country...loss of 4 young boy scouts during tornado. All of the families could use our prayers. I recently returned from a trip to DC and Chicago. While in DC , I visited some of the troops in the hospital who were recently wounded. Their attitudes, concerns for others, and determination to get back to their units amazes me. I am so proud of those serving today; they all give us much to be thankful for. Please remember them in your prayers as well. My trip to Chicago was to be with some of the medics I was with in my first unit in Vietnam. It was so great just to see them again and renew our friendships of 40 years.
