Putting life in place. .

. At the age of sixteen, I could see I lacked something in my life.

I had gone to Sunday school for one year while I had to live with my grandmother for my fourth grade in school. I had some health issues, and she lived closer to the doctor.

I went to a revival there for two Saturdays in a row. On the second one, I accepted Christ into my life.

So since that day, I have tried to serve my Lord. Being a young boy and Christian, it was easy to be led astray while I was in my early years of military life.

But in the beginning of my tour in Korea, I was in my sixth month in Korea, the war had been settled. I got a letter from a sixteen-year-old girl that I had never met.

About one year and five months, we were married, so I gave most of my life so far to her and my country. The Lord took her home four years and two months ago.

I worked for the government for over forty years and was in all the wars during that time--Korea, Desert Storm, and the Gulf in '93. You see, I love my country and want to help keep it free, where everyone can live in peace.
