One of my boyhood friends fought in the Vietnamese War. His company was surrounded by the Viet Cong. The enemy managed to cut off all the supply routes. Eventually, the American troops ran out of food and they ran out of ammunition. The night before my friend was killed, he wrote a letter to his parents. He told them that he and his comrades knew they would die the next day. He told his parents he loved them. He thanked them for raising him up in a Christian home. He told his parents not to worry about him because he knew he had a home prepared for him in heaven. Early the next day, the enemy killed every man in his company. The kind of faith my friend had in God is an example of what God can do if we trust Him. The Psalmist says "The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 NIV
My Grandpa Levi "Lee" Wilkinson was in a similar situation when he was a soldier in World War 1. He fought in the battle of the Argonne Forest. For the rest of his story read the book "The Memoirs of One Man's Journey Through Time" by C. Paul Wooderson. Website: cpaulwooderson.com
