"How do you live the Christian life?"

As for me, I remember Orde Wingate. General Wingate was raised strictly in a Plymouth Brethren family. He knew the Gospels and Psalms mostly by heart.

I remember Douglas MacArthur. A devout Christian man.

Very much I remember La Pucelle, Saint Joan of Arc.

Robert Edward Lee.

There was a certain Chaplain, Howell Forgy, aboard the U.S.S. New Orleans during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a Lieutenant (j.g.) on that Sunday morning in December, 1941.

Another Lieutenant who had been in charge of an ammunition line on the USS New Orleans during the attack remembered.

" I heard a voice behind me saying, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition". I turned and saw Chaplain Forgy walking toward me along the line of men. He was patting the men on the back and making that remark to cheer them and keep them going. I know it helped me a lot, too", he said.

Let us remember Chaplain Howell Forgy.

Let us remember Maximillian Kolbe, Catholic Priest and Saint and Martyr, who died for another at Auschwitz.

Let us remember that the Nazis could have been stopped in their tracks as late as 1936 by being willing to do what was needed. What was needed required bloodshed.

Reflect that a serious attempt to support the Whites (including the Poles) against the Reds in 1919 to 1924 would have stopped the Soviet Union cold.
