Another excellent "lost" story from the conflict that, more than any other, defined & shaped our modern times. The recounting of the Soviet-Finnish engagement yesterday was another wonderful spotlight on a "remote" corner of the globe that was touched by the conflagration that was the Second World War, BTW.
Last night I put in my profile a pic of my grandfather in his 5th Army Air Corps casual uniform, posing for a picture he sent home to his young son (my father) in an advance jungle airfield somewhere (New Guinea, we think) during the time of his service in what he simply called "The War."
The work the both of you do here with the FReeper Foxhole honors not only his memory, but also the millions who've served & sacrificed for this great country for the sake of freedom.
I've said it before, I know, but I'll say it again: Thank you. -AJC
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole
Good morning ALL. Dennis' uncle Ralph was a member of the original band of Merrills' Mauraders. He went throught the entire campaign with Merrill.
I just wanted to stop by and say hello to the foxhole crew and say thank you to all of our veterans.
Last weekend I had the chance to meet a few more of our wonderful military Veterans at a pro troops rally at Fort Bragg. I am humbled,as always, by the way our fine patriotic men and women conduct themselves.
Each time I meet a new Veteran I learn a lesson in dedication and patience. May God watch over them and their families.
I appreciate all of the many sacrifices they have made for my family.
King of the Jews. Was it an original thought at the time? Perhaps it had been introduced when the wise men asked, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?" (Matthew 2:2). They had sought the fulfillment of this promise: "For unto us a Child is born . . . ; the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). They believed Jesus was this Child. Later, when Christ was crucified, some jeered, "If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross" (Matthew 27:40). They wanted to see if Jesus really was King. But Jesus did not come down. The true meaning of the cross is that "Christ died for our sins" (1 Corinthians 15:3). He who paid the penalty of our sins has made God's forgiveness possible. Those who accept God's forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ to be their Savior and Lord can have only one appropriate response-to serve Him. He is King of our lives. -Albert Lee
Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary. -Hussey Jesus is King of our lives, so we must serve Him all of our lives.

LOL!
Pack artillery!
I love it!
More than 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate commanded that a placard be placed on the cross that read: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Perhaps Pilate sought to induce fear among the people and discourage them from crowning their own king.
