About Me	The following is only a brief overview of my Military Biographical Summary, which consists of some ten pages, front and back, typed, and single-spaced. In my Army Career as a Professional Soldier (General Schoomaker issued a General Order in 2007 to the effect that henceforth the term Soldier as applied to the Soldiers of the United States Army would for evermore, be capitalized) I have led troops early on during my first and third Tours of Duty in the Viet-Nam War I served as the Assistant Team Leader of Ranger-Long Range Patrol Team 2-2 in 2nd Platoon, Charley Rangers, followed by forming a Provisional LRP Team in the bush, and as a result of that successful mission, I was made the Team Leader for both Charley and Delta LRP Teams in turn, all three while serving in 1st Platoon, November Rangers. In the legendary 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC. I served as a Pathfinder Team Leader with the 82nd Pathfinder Detachment. Because I could not be selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant/E-6 in the Pathfinders I then transferred to the Aero Rifle Platoon of Troop C, 1st Squadron (Airborne)-(Air), 17th Cavalry, 82nd Airborne Division where I performed duty as a Fire Team Leader, a Rifle Squad Leader, and a Weapons Squad Leader. Then I served as an Infantry Drill Sergeant in the first One Station Unit Training Company in the U.S. Army, Company C, 1st Battalion, 1st Infantry Training Brigade (OSUT) at Fort Polk, La. Following this assignment I transferred to Fort Benning, Ga. where I was assigned the duties of Senior Drill Sergeant of 2nd Platoon, Company D, 1st Battalion, 1st Advanced Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning, Ga. Following this I served as Rifle Squad Leader once again with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 4th U.S. Infantry Regiment. I was then transferred up to Headquarters Company where I served as the 56th Field Artillery Brigade's (Pershing-Nuclear Surity) Immediate Reaction Force Platoon Sergeant as junior Staff Sergeant/E-6 (less a Platoon Leader). I was then selected by the Battalion Commander to serve as the Reconnaissance Platoon Leader (less a Platoon Sergeant). Both positions were held concurrently in the Battalion HQs Company. Eventually, I would be hand picked by the 1st Special Troops Battalion, VII (U.S.) Corps Command Sergeant Major, Jimmy Dalton to serve as a rated Field First Sergeant of the VII (U.S.) Corps Tactical Command Post, an element of some 600 +/- troops which included the Corps Deputy Commanding General, a Major General, whose name presently eludes me. Beyond this, I was once again chosen for a most unique assignment as the Sergeant Major (brand new Sergeant First Class/E-7 in a Sergeant Major/E-9 position) for the U.S. Army Element at NATO Longe Range Patrol School at Weingarten, Germany. In this assignment I served with the British SAS and SBS, directly under the command of British Leftenant Colonel Derek Dale, 22SAS, Commanding Officer International Wing. I could see the barracks room of Officer Cadet Erwin Rommell from the casino (Officer/NCO Club) located at Kascerne. My last and final leadership assignment was the Detachment Sergeant of the 88-man Combat Service-Support Detachment (an SFC/E-7 in a Master Sergeant/E-8 postion) of 1st SF Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne) while serving in the Afghan War in 2003-2004. My Security Clearance at retirement was Top Secret, Special Compartmented Investigation (Code Word), as a result of a Special Background Investigation, which investigation required 18 months to perform, and followed a six-month Top Secret Investigation required to perform Special Forces intelligence duties, which investigation had been adjudicated just four years previous. I have held at least a Secret Security Clearance, as was then required, in order to report for Special Forces Assessment and Selection in January 1969. Rank and Paygrade at retirement: Sergeant First Class/E-7, MOS: 18B-Special Forces Weapons Sergeant. In taking the Special Forces Battery Test in November 1968, I scored 429 out of a possible 500, where the two highest historical scores were 489, that score was achieved by Specialist Five Michael Creamer and the score of 491 was achieved by a contemporary of Michael Creamer. Both of these scores were achieved by college graduates, both of whom were straight-A students, whereas, I was not a high school graduate, even though I had successfully taken and passed the High School GED in August of 1968 at Fort Lewis, Washington. I certainly was not a straight-A student. The Special Forces Battery Test represents the most intensely mind-boggling examination that I have to this date experienced, Tuesday, 26 April 2022. Additional MOSs: 97C4S/P, Chief Area Intelligence Sergeant, the duties of which are a function of Foreign, Offensive, High-Risk Counterintelligence, Special Operations/Parachutist, and AMOS: 96B4S/P-Senior Intelligence Analyst, Special Operations/Parachutist (I hated that MOS). Combat Service: Served three back-to-back tours of duty during the Viet-Nam War, arriving at the U.S. Army Replacement Detachment co-located at Cam Ranh Air Force Base on Sunday, 27 July 1969, and departing from Cam Ranh Air Force Base on Monday, 02 August 1971. In addition to which, I performed Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols into Secret Base Area 602-Laos, and, Long-Range Patrols into Secret Base Area 702-Cambodia, and, more than 50 Long-Range Patrols in southern I Corps, all of II Corps, and the northern-half of III Corps areas of operation in the former Republic of South Viet-Nam. I drew 15 months of Combat Pay for my deployment and duty in the Afghan War from Thursday, 18 September 2003 to Friday, 31 December 2004 (at the same time that I was serving in the Afghan War, my number two son, Sergeant Adam J. Arnold was then, simultaneously serving a 12-month deployment in the Iraq War in the overlapping time-period of 2004-2005. Previous to that he had deployed to Kuwait in 1998 (a 6-months combat tour), followed by a deployment to Kosovo in 1999-2000 (a 12-months long combat tour during The Balkans States Wars of the mid-to-late, 1990's). And, before all of the forgoing Adam had served a 12-month tour of duty in Korea at or very near to the DMC from August 1996 to August 1997. Adam's MOS was 31L Combat Field Line Wireman. In the U.S. Army, MOS 31L is that MOS which when held by a Soldier is most likely to find himself being taken under fire and killed by an enemy sniper. Watch the movie "Enemy At The Gates" with Ed Harris, Jude Law, and Rachel Weisz. Look for the young German Signal Soldier low crawling over a broken and shattered cityscape and stringing wire. A Combat Field Line Wireman is considered even among nasty-ass civilians to be one of the three most dangerous professions that any man can follow, and nobody 40 or older has any business working at such a job. Soldiers, however, do not have any such option at their disposal. "A Soldier's duty trumps all other considerations." JRA "Duty is the most sublime word in the English Language." Robert Edward Lee, Captain, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army. My daughter, Angella's second-born son, Sergeant Corbyn G. Wood is presently serving in the U.S. Army. His unit has been alerted for a deployment to Poland along the international border with Russia. Two of Adam's sons are about to enlist in the U.S. Army for MOS:11B-Light Weapons Airborne Infantryman with follow-on assignments (after successful completion of Infantry OSUT and Jump School) to the 75th Ranger Regiment. Where previous to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Ranger Battalion assignment, they will have to undergo the extremely rigorous 8 weeks of RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program). RASP could be likened to Ranger Assessment and Selection Pogrom. As to my vanity, I invite you to read the following books: Phantom Warrior, Book One (Last Chapter) by Sergeant Gary A. Linderer; Charlie Mike, a historical novel by Colonel Leonard B. Scott (my second Platoon Leader in Charley Rangers) which is a story based on Ranger-LRP Team 2-2 of Company C (Ranger-LRP) 75th Infantry (Airborne) covering the time period in which I personally served on Team 2-2; Mask In Green, Poems of Viet-Nam, a Masters Thesis, 1991, Department of English, BYU Press, by Lisa M. Williams. I was Lisa's source and I had given Lisa access to my personal library. And, last of all there is the Ballad "I Can't Always Be Nice", composed and put to music by Master Sergeant Mark Crawford, U.S. Air Force (Ret.). This song was performed as a tribute to a Christian Soldier, unlike the old Christian hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers", because as a Mormon there is nothing about me that represents a nice-guy Christian. Nice guys finish last, nice guys always fail to train their men properly for combat, and nice guys more often than not get their men killed stupidly having failed in their sworn duty to accomplish the mission and taking the objective. In the world of mortal combat to be a nice guy is to be known as a man who gets his men killed. A nice guy is a murderer, nothing more, nothing less. I left home Wednesday afternoon, 07 August 1968 departing the Greyhound Bus Station in Redding, and enlisting two days later on Friday afternoon, 09 August 1968 at the Armed Forces Entrance and Examining Station in Oakland, California, and retired from Active Federal Service at Fort Bragg, NC, Sunday, 04 July 2010. Note that I was born at 0423 hours, Tuesday, 04 July 1950 in Goodland, Sherman County, Kansas. Units with which I served are: the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate); Co. C (Ranger-LRP) 75th Infantry (Airborne), First Field Forces, Viet-Nam. While serving with Charlie Rangers the Company was attached to the 2nd Mobile Strike Force Command (Airborne), the 5th Special Forces Group, (Airborne), and also performed duty as a compartmented Special Augmentation Unit, performing missions for MACV-SOG's, Joint Personnel Recovery Center, also performed duty as a compartmented Special Augmentation Unit for the MACV J-2 Civil Operations Revolutionary Development, Support, aka The Phoenix Program performing rendition operations among the senior political and military leadership of the Viet-Cong Infrastructure; Scout Platoon (flying LOH's, pronounced Loach in the left seat co-pilot position-Observer/Gunner) with B Troop, 7th Squadron (Air), 17th Cavalry, 17th Aviation Group (Combat); Co. N (Ranger-LRP) 75th Infantry (Airborne), 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate). November Rangers also performed duty as a compartmented Special Augmentation Unit for both MACV-SOG's Joint Personnel Recovery Center and executed sanctions for the J-2, Civil Operations Revolutionary Development, Support, aka the Phoenix Program. That which distinguishes Long Range Patrol operations from Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol operations is that the former predominantly executes Hunter-Killer-POW Snatch missions, and, the latter performs deep reconnaissance, surveillance, photographic (even filming), wire-tap, and bomb damage assessment missions, all of which when doing your damnest to avoid being detected by enemy observation, and by so doing, avoiding direct combat, which would result in mission compromise-mission abort. CONUS assignments were with the legendary 82nd Pathfinder Detachment, 82nd Airborne Division. Further CONUS assignments were as an Infantry Drill Sergeant at Fort Polk, La. and Fort Benning, Ga.; Pathfinder Instructor at Jump School. OCONUS assignments in Europe were Nuclear Surety Duty in the Central European Theatre of Operations as the Reconnaissance Platoon Leader, occupying a First Lieutenant/O2 paragraph and line number by TO&E; although, I was then a junior Staff Sergeant/E-6 replacing a very senior Master Sergeant/E-8 with the 2nd Battalion, 4th U.S. Infantry Regiment providing security for the Mobile Nuclear Batteries and the Combat Alert Sites of the 56th Field Artillery Brigade (Pershing One-Tactical Nuclear Missile Artillery), 7th (U.S.) Army. In this assignment, my Secret Security Clearance for Special Forces duty was upgraded to Nuclear Surety Secret. As my duties were purely tactical there was no need for a Nuclear Surety Top Secret. Immediately following this assignment I served as a Ranger Instructor with Special Forces Detachment (Airborne) Europe at Camp Warden a sub-contonment of Flint Kaserne. My peace-time mission was to train U.S. and British Army Soldiers how to conduct guerilla operations behind advancing Soviet Warsaw Pact Forces. My wartime mission was to conduct deep strategic ground reconnaissance in Eastern Europe (The Soviet Union and Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact nations) and, throughout the African Continent. The 1st SF Battalion,10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), the 1st SF Battalion was the first and original Special Forces unit to be activated in the U.S. Army in 1952 at Fort Bragg, NC. In my assignment with the 1st SF Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), I served as the Escape and Evasion Operations Sergeant for the Central European Theatre of Operations, for both Special Forces Detachment (Airborne) Europe, and the 1st SF Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) which were co-located at Flink Kaserne at Bad Tolz (Tolz should have an umlaut ".." above the letter o, which is done for backward vowel sounds), Germany with Camp Worden as an attached cantonment (Flint Kaserne was originally Das Oberkommando Der Waffen SS-Junkerschule fur (the term fur should come equipped with an umlaut ".." above the letter u) SS Officiers, und SS Staubfeldwebbles (NCOs) under a single command authority. My U.S. Air Force counterpart was a full Colonel/O-6. The Air Force Colonel operated at Special Operations Command, Europe located at USEUCOM at Patch Barracks, Germany (this is not unique in U.S. Army Special Forces, my rank and paygrade at that time was Staff Sergeant/E-6). This disparity in rank, though, to be sure, was and is to this day pretty annoying to commissioned officers. But this only serves to illustrate the level of confidence and trust placed in Special Forces and Ranger Regiment NCOs. Back in CONUS, I served as Platoon Sergeant in both the 43rd and 44th Airborne Training Companies, 4th Student Battalion (Airborne) at Jump School. I was a Staff Sergeant/E-6 occupying a Sergeant First Class/E-7 Line and Paragraph Number. Upon completion of this assignment, I received an award of the Meritorious Service Medal in January 1981. As a rule in those years, the U.S. Army decorated a Staff Sergeant/E-6 with an MSM only at retirement from Active Federal Service, and not necessarily then either. Often times, an NCO or a Commissioned Officer who rose up from the enlisted ranks received no recognition for his long and faithful service upon the occasion of his retirement from Active Federal Service. I have personally seen it happen. Returning to Special Forces I served with the 531st MID (Special Forces Group) (Airborne), this unit was one of only two Strategic Special Forces Intelligence Detachments worldwide. In my next assignment, I was one of five (worldwide) hand-picked Intelligence NCOs to be assigned to the newly activated Headquarters, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. RS2-Intelligence (I served on the Intelligence Staff as the subject matter expert on all matters Soviet/Rusia Spetsialnogoa-naznachenya (Spetznaz), wherever Spetznas were found to be operating worldwide. Soviet Spetnznas was in the decades of 1980s and 1990s operating in Central America, more specifically Nicaragua. My Department of Defence counterpart was a GS-15. We spoke face-to-face only once when he came down to Fort Benning from someplace out of the dark recesses of the nether world. I do not recall that he introduced himself to me, but he knew exactly who I was. Which I guess is to be expected. Special Forces, at least in the U.S. Army typically, does not find itself, charged with hunting down and terminating enemy special forces, this mission is historically performed by U.S. Army Ranger units). Within the Regimental Staff I would become the senior Staff NCO in the RS5-Contingency Plans and Operations Section, at least for a short while until I once again PCSd (Permanent Change of Station (2-year unaccompanied or 3-year accompanied tour of duty) back to Europe. I believe largely because of this assignment with the 75th Ranger Regiment, I would be selected by a Department of the Army Selection Board for promotion to the rank and grade of Sergeant First Class/E-7. My promotion sequence number was 0001 for all U.S. Army NCOs worldwide, regardless of their Primary MOS. I was simultaneously selected for the Intelligence NCO Advanced Course at the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. In an extraordinary circumstance of events I was also selected to attend the Infantry NCO Advanced Course at the Infantry Center and School at Fort Benning, Georgia. I was deeply honored by and grateful for the trust and confidence that the U.S. Army placed in me. Some may say that this double selection for NCO Advanced Course is pure bullshit. That the U.S. Army just simply does not do such things. Ordinarily, I 'am compelled to agree. But to them I also say, I have the orders with class dates in my personal records. Once again, I find myself OCONUS in Europe, and I 'am performing duty as a G-2 Senior Staff Advisor and Subject Matter Expert in service to the Commanding General, VII (U.S.) Corps (Innitially Lieutenant General Andrew Chambers and followed by Lieutenant General Ronald Watts) on all matters pertaining to Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol and Long Range Surveillance Operations. In March 1987 I was hand-picked (hand-picked from the 87,000 personnel of the VII (U.S.) Corps and the 55,000 personnel of the V (U.S.) Corps, this also includes all U.S. Army Special Forces and Ranger personnel assigned in Europe) to serve in the campacity of the U.S. Army Sergeant Major/E-9 (this did not sit well with many other NCOs who in fact were themselves, Sergeant Majors) for those U.S. Army personnel undergoing the Summer-Winter Patrol Program of Instruction, the Soviet and Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact Nation Identification Program of Instruction and the Long Range Reconnaissance Medical Courses of Instruction at the NATO International Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol School located at Weingarten, Deutschland which is west of New Ulm, and east of Lake Constance, which forms the international border with Switzerland. I would serve as the Senior U.S. Army Instructor in the Patrol Division of the International Wing. I reported to Colour Sergeant David K. Hadlow, Royal Marine Commando Special Boat Squadron (SBS) on detached duty as the NCOIC of Patrol Division, and both of us reported to Leftenant Colonel Derek Dale, Commanding Officer of the International Wing at the NATO ILRRP School. Actually Colonel Dale was a Wing Commander in the RAF Regiment and seconded to the 22 SAS Regiment where he had served for many years. Leftenant Colonel Dale was a fully SAS Badged Commissioned Officer. The Real World Mission at the NATO ILRRPS was to train the reconnaissance and Special Forces of the European armies in deep penetration and surveillance operations, and as and when possible, rendition operations targeting general officers and senior field grade Soviet and Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact officers (full Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels). I was Wounded in Action x 9 separate times, beyond that I suffered with Malaria, Dengue Fever, Amoebic Dysentery, Intestinal Parasitizes, and Fevers of Unknown Origin x 5 times. Above and beyond this I underwent 6 major surgeries having sustained an internal decapitation on my 600th static-line jump, but I still continued to make jumps, full, combat-equipment, night static-line jumps, and besides that I went to war once again. Also, I fell 120 feet from a hovering UH-1H Helicopter, immediately after which, I picked myself up, straightened out the aluminum frame of my rucksack, shouldered my 75-pound ruck, and Charlie Miked. Let there be no doubt in any person's mind Guardian Angles are real and they are with us even from before when God forms us in our mother's womb. Guarding Angels are at our side from Pre-mortal existence through all eternity. As to personal matters, I 'am the father of two sons and one daughter (in any event that is the number of children on the official morning report, and that's my story and I 'am sticking to it). I 'am also the Grandfather of ten Grandsons and two Granddaughters. And pretty soon I will be a Great-Grandfather (Grandpa Jack). About marriage: I was in prison for fourteen years, after which I got paroled (whether for good or bad behavior, I cannot for certain, actually say). Nevertheless, and notwithstanding that parole, I was, by the Grace of God released from the shackles and manacles of that unfortunate period of time, effective date: Wednesday, 18 January 1984.The fact is that women just cost too damn much money, and, can a man ever really trust a woman? I fear not. If I need a woman, If I Really Need A Woman, I can take leave and fly space available (a retirement benefit) to Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Athens, Rome, to all of the places that I very much like. European women are so much easier to deal with; they just simply do not behave themselves like American women. My family, which means my children and their children. We are Regular United States Army, By the Grace of God. And yes, we vote a straight Republican ticket. Hooah, Hooah. Before I sign off here I 'am compelled to mention six important teachers in my young academic career: Mrs. Horn in the first-grade,1956, Mrs. Bailey in the second-grade,1957, and Mrs. Brady in the third-grade,1958, these three teachers taught me my alphabet, printing, cursive, how to read, arithmetic and the importance of spelling, Mr. Conrade, my seventh and eighth grade teacher who taught me the mechanics of the English Language and the rudiments of the Spanish Language, 1963-1965, my eight-grade teacher who taught the U.S.Constitution, 1965 (I owe that teacher so much, and yet, I can't for the life of me remember his name, although he taught at Central Valley Intermediate School, and, finally Lieutenant Colonel Holbein who taught English 101 at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, Citadel Station, Charleston, SC, 1981. Colonel Holbein taught me how to write the 300-word and 500-word thesis, and the importance of correct spelling-that there is no excuse for a misspelled word, ever. As for high school, high school was not at all high, it was pretty damn low, both academically and intellectually. It was a waste of the mandatory taxes levied against the citizens of California. Citizens who had no voice or choice in the matter of taxation for schools. I thank God, that my children went to school in Department of the Army Dependent Schools. A school system where the Commanding General of each U.S. Army Post holds a child's Soldier father accountable for the behavior of both his dependent wife and dependent children in all respects, in all places, at all times. If his Army Dependent child proves to be recalcitrant, the CG has the authority to order that child removed from a Department of the Army School. If that child continues to misbehave the Commanding General can order the Soldier's family to move Off Post at that Soldiers own expense. If when such misconduct takes place the Soldier and his dependents are overseas. The Post Commander, even a Colonel can order that child returned to CONUS at the Solder's personal expense. If such a Soldier is on a promotion list, even the General Officer Promotion List that Soldier can be removed from the promotion list and even ordered to put in his retirement papers. Which request for personnel action will be approved, post haste. While I 'am writing here about that which applies to Army Dependent children, every bit as much also applies to a Soldier's Army Dependent spouse. I have observed all of this happen in my U.S. Army career. Yes, even to full Colonels on the General Officer Promotion List, and things quickly become very severe for Senior NCOs, Senior Commissioned Officers, and General Officers. If I learned just one thing in United States Army Service, it is that a Sergeant or any subordinate in any U.S. Government compacity must absolutely never be more decorated than a Commissioned Officer or senior civil servant. To be more highly decorated makes officers of any branch of military or naval service insecure. And, you will certainly be made to suffer for falling out in your Class-A Greens, Dress Blues, Tropical Dress Whites or Blue or White Mess Dress with more decorations on your right chest than an officer has on his left chest. Most especially Combat Arms Infantry, Armor, Artillery Officers. Major Townsend, the RS5 in the Ranger Regiment instructed me in no uncertain terms when PCSing back to Europe in November 1985, to just wear my CIB and nothing else. Major Townsend meant well, I know that. Major Townsend kniew that some officers can be resentful and very petty. Currently (Sunday, 00 Dark 30, 05 January 2025) I have for some weeks and even months now, been reading Flavius Josephus, The Wars of The Jews. Josephus was certainly fluent in Hebrew and in Aramaic, which is the language that Jesus spoke most often. Josephus would also have been fluent in Hellenic or Koin Greek. However, Josephus was primarily writing for the Romans. Therefore, he was most likely writing in Latin, the language of ancient Rome. So, reading The Wars of The Jews is time consuming, consuming because of the difficulty in making sense in the mind of a modern American English speaker of languages no longer spoken for the most part, except by ancient historians. Reading Flavius Josephus is a real pain in the ass. Beyond this, I have been reading The Holy Bible again for perhaps the eleventh reading of the text. And, I mean every single word inclusive of the genealogies and the Song of Solomon. Except that this time I 'am do so in concert with The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible (Published 1999 by Martin Abegg, Jr., Peter Flint & Eugene Ulrich), and, at the same time I 'am reading, A New Translation-The Dead Sea Scrolls (1996, 2005, Translated with Commentary by Michael Wise, Martin Abegg, Jr., and Edward Cook). All of this in combination with The Deutercanonicals-Apocrypha. You cannot hope to fully understand The Book of Mormon, and I have read/studied The Book of Mormon at least once for every year that I have lived, and I 'am a convert, I 'am not a life long member of The Church of The First Born. Until such time as you have complete and full understanding of The Torah and The Old Testament as those most sacred and holy words were revealed and handed down, written, transcribed and understood by those men of those ancient days to whom all of us today owe so much--You will lack wisdom. Still much of this is well beyond our understanding and our ability to demonstrate our appreciation, except in our willing obedience. Nowadays, we, all of us take for granted these ancient scriptures. We do not comprehend nor do we appreciated the fact that men and women and sometimes their children with them sacrificed eveyrthing, even their lives, so that we today can read these words freely and without fear for our lives. We should not take the Holy Scriptures lightly. As for me, the brain cells of my poor little brain have been overheating, and frequently. Nevertheless, I 'am very much, an Old Testament, Book of Leviticus, and New Testiment, Book of Revelation adherent. I subscribe to the ancient Laws of God just exactly as God revealed His laws to his often errant children. Think about it, how, that often times, we are slow learners relevant to those things which are most important to our mortal lives and our immortal lives. I, as a stand alone man--I find myself most guilty of this human condition. Yet, I know that I 'am of the same race as The Great Eternal God. It is my one great eternal hope that that Great Eternal God has a Line and Paragraph Number for this lowly and most unworthy American Soldier in The Army of God as A Waring Angel. To serve under the command of Michael, The Great Arch Angel. God's General in Chief. What more could I want? What more could I ask for?. /signed/ Very Respectfully, Jack R.
