As Sgt. Pekrul stated, they were the “Greatest Generation”. He is so much like my WWII Dad who lived 98 yrs. and so loved our country. Let us carry on their spirit, their love of Country and God. Currently, there is a phrase posted all over UK subways and on all of our US Merchant ships, “If you see something, say something!” God’s people see the decline in our government and in our churches. Let us not be silent but say something to family and friends and especially our church leadership. Let’s be brave like our WWII generation and realize our country has a Godly purpose and let our churches know we are counting on them to speak and teach the Biblical World View we need as we the people go to the polls on November 5.

Jer. 6:16: ” go to the crossroads and look. Ask for the old ways, learn them, and walk in them…..” Thank you for the words of this old veteran who grew up learning to love America, his homeland. Help us also so to love America, land that we love! In Jesus’s name, amen

I loved his speech. Reminded me of America, Home of the free and The brave. He truly is the epitome of the greatest generation; fighting for his country at the call without reservation. I thank God for Sergeant Pekrul. He is a reminder of what we’ve lost and of what could be. Let us seek God with all our hearts, Lord, let us turn from our wicked ways and repent our sins, Lord I pray that you will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land in the mighty name and shed blood of Jesus, amen
