At a recent Soldiers Breakfast held at <DIV></DIV>>Redstone Arsenal, AL, Sergeant Major of the Army Jack Tilley shared the <DIV></DIV>>following story. (The vignette was captured by James Henderson, Association <DIV></DIV>>of the U.S. Army Redstone Huntsville Chapter Chaplain. Please distribute far <DIV></DIV>>and wide...it is worth sharing!!) He (SMA Jack Tilley) described one such <DIV></DIV>>recent visit to our wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center in <DIV></DIV>>Washington that I (Chaplain Henderson) will never forget. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>"The Special Forces soldier had lost his right hand and suffered severe <DIV></DIV>>wounds of his face and side of his body. As SMA Tilley described, how do you <DIV></DIV>>honor such a soldier, showing respect without offending? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>What can you say or do in such a situation that will encourage and uplift? <DIV></DIV>>How do you shake the right hand of a soldier who just lost his? Finally he <DIV></DIV>>told how he acted as though the man had a hand, taking his wrist as though <DIV></DIV>>it were his hand and speaking encouragement to him. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>But he said there was another man in that group of visitors who had even <DIV></DIV>>brought his wife with him to visit the wounded who knew exactly what to do. <DIV></DIV>>This man reverently took this soldier's stump of a hand in both of his <DIV></DIV>>hands, bowed at the bedside and prayed for him. When he stood from praying <DIV></DIV>>he bent over and kissed the man on the head and told him he loved him. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>What a powerful expression of love for one our wounded heroes! And what a <DIV></DIV>>beautiful Christ-like example! What kind of man would kneel in such humility <DIV></DIV>>and submission to the Living God of the Bible? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>It was George W. Bush, President of the United States and Commander in Chief <DIV></DIV>>of our Armed forces, a man who understands and follows his chain of command, <DIV></DIV>>a leader God has given us. <DIV></DIV>>_______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Bonobos maillist - Bonobos-4GNy1lrxftmrG/[email protected] <DIV></DIV>>http://monkeyfist.com/mailman/listinfo/bonobos <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN 8 with <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMOENUS/2740??PS=">e-mail virus protection service: </a> 2 months FREE*</html> _______________________________________________ Bonobos maillist - Bonobos-4GNy1lrxftmrG/[email protected] http://monkeyfist.com/mailman/listinfo/bonobos
