Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
~Howze Yer Day Goin? ~
Wouldn’t it be neat to be able to wear the Croix de Guerre?
Isn’t it one of those large audacious medals which General Patton was wearing in the first scene of the movie?
Read: Proverbs 15:1-23
On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in response to the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. Within 90 days, other European countries had taken sides to honor their military alliances and pursue their own ambitions. A single event escalated into World War I, one of the most destructive military conflicts of modern time.
The tragedy of war is staggering, yet our relationships and families can begin to fracture with only a few hateful words. James wrote, See how great a forest a little fire kindles! (James 3:5). A key to avoiding verbal conflict is found in Proverbs: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (15:1).
A small comment can start a large fight. When we, by Gods grace, choose not to retaliate with our words, we honor Jesus our Savior. When He was abused and insulted, He fulfilled the prophetic words of Isaiah, He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth (Isa. 53:7).
Proverbs urges us to speak the truth and seek peace through our words. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, . . . and a word spoken in due season, how good it is! (15:4,23).
To General Holland Smith,to my father and the other members of the 4th Marine Division of World War Two, I salute them for their honorable service in the face of a determined and dangerous foe. Sempre Fi
Thanks, galz, for a great hero to read about and be proud of!
Shoot is over...we’re having down time tonight before I have my drive home tomorrow!
Let all FReepers take note — General Smith was a War Eagle.
