“Rest your head now, weary soldier. Cast your weapons to the ground. Close your eyes and feel the peace.....Heed not our earthly battle cries. There is no post for you to stand. So rest now as He carries you within His loving hand. ..... Walk in the sunlight of the spirit free of war or pain and fear. Your duty here is done now as ours will someday be, so go with Him now to places only heroes ever see.” - Neva Brooks, ''Hero's Reward''

Thought for the day...

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many
want in ... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever
offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom."

There was a nice article in the newspaper.  It turns out that Sgt. Herrema always wanted to join the Army but right out of High School, just for kicks, he wanted to try ranch work for a while.  He and a buddy from HS went to Colorado and worked for a while.  When the work dried up they headed home to Michigan.  They made it as far back as Jackson, TN before stopping in to the recruiters office !  Hudsonville, Michigan was home.  Jackson, TN is where he stopped in and signed up.
