I got this email from Renegade Chaplain today! I also have a stateside mailing address and phone number for him, if anyone is interested.

I was recently going through some paperwork and discovered your note that you sent me which accompanied the knife that was sent. I had set it aside to say "Thank You," but unfortunately misplaced your note until last week. I apologize for my long delay. Thank you for the wonderful gift of the knife. It sits proudly in my desk and I use it quite frequently. Obviously, every time I pull it out, I remember all of the great Americans of the Hobbit Hole and your overwhelming support while the Renegades were downrange.

I appreciate your support greatly as do the paratrooper that I serve with. Above all, I appreciate your prayers. Believe me, they inspired me and enabled me to "bring God to the soldiers and the soldiers to God." (mission of the Army Chaplain)

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

God bless you,

CH (CPT) Renegade Chaplain Chaplain, 307th FSB 82d Airborne Division

Before I finished typing this message, one of the paratroopers whom I serve with told me to say "Hello!"

That just tickles me! I got a handwritten letter the other day from him! From what I understand, things have been pretty rough...he was the only chaplain around there for a while and I think he may still be. Having to do all the funerals...

Maybe he's getting a chance to catch his breath!

Thanks for sharing the note, the RC is definitely a good one.

btw; Gov't trucks, they're all the same, Dodge's slant sixes ran good as long as you topped the oil every day. I sure liked my old power wagon, recaliterant ol truck. Hope the next guy learned her foibles. heh,heh
