I've got that 2nd pic (CH-47 lifting a Howitzer) on my work computer screen (I used to repair/test gas turbine engines for Chinooks).
Also spent a month at Campbell back in 2006 - as a civilian mod'ing Black Hawks for deployment into theater.
Loved Clarksville - great town.

Where Our Fears Live
February 11, 2014
Read: 1 Kings 17:17-24
Twelve years into our marriage, my wife and I were discouraged by the emotional roller-coaster of hopes raised and dashed in attempting to have children. A friend tried to explain Gods thinking. Maybe God knows youd be a bad father, he said. He knew that my mother had struggled with a terrible temper.
Then, Christmas 1988, we learned we were expecting our first child! But now I had this nagging fear of failure.
The following August, Kathryn joined our family. As nurses and doctors tended to my wife, Kathryn cried on the warming tray. I offered my hand to comfort her, and her tiny fingers wrapped around my finger. In that instant, the Holy Spirit swept through me, assuring me of what I had only recently doubtedthat I would show love to this little one!
The widow of Zarephath also had doubts. Her son had been struck with a lethal illness. In her despair she cried out, Have you come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son? (1 Kings 17:18). But God had other plans!
We serve a God who is mightier than the struggles we inherit and who is full of the desire to forgive, love, and heal the brokenness that rises up between us and Him. God is present in the places where our fears live.
Father, make Yourself known to us in our weakest
moments and in our greatest fears. Teach us to
receive Your love in a way that enables us to show
it to others, especially those closest to us.
Love swims against the current of lifes false fears.

Now you are in my neck-of-the-woods. Good old Clarksville, TN and Ft. Campbell.
I spent a lot of time with the 101st and 160th in support of the Ch-47s and MH-47s
A lot of very great men and women in them outfits.
Have a great Day and drop by the Sportsman Lodge for some good/Great German food. :-)

I spent Christmas of 1977, 1978, and 1979 at Ft. Campbell at the veterinary unit there. I was a S/Sgt. 91 R,S, and T. Since it was during the holidays I usually had one of the old barracks all to myself. Usually was very quiet but one Christmas they sent a platoon of women from Ft. Bragg there and they had to put them up in my barracks. The Ft. Braggettes were very noisy and partied quite a bit. I huddled in the corner and behaved.

Nice post. My son-in-law is in the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), recently returned from Afghanistan. Great soldiers!
