Honoring Dad - My World War II Navy Hero & Doug- My #1 Marine

My Favorite Navy Man

WWII

Granny Florence Faye Bare with Daddy

Dad was just out of high school landing a job at

Snap-On-Tools when the war caused him to want

to go off into the military to protect his nation.

He was taught to be a medic because of his high

aptitude in that area.  He loved it and worked on

many, many young soldiers to save their lives in the

very midst of battle.  He had lots of stories to tell

about surgeries they did during even a typhoon!

It was a record breaking appendectomy with men

holding the walls of the tent up while the lantern was

swinging in the wind.  The subject did live and was

able to fight another battle.

I am so thankful for my dad's life.  I am thankful he

taught me to value the freedom he and others fought

for.  We honored the flag.  We honored those who

fought for us.  We loved the USA and were thankful

that we were born in this great nation.

Thanks to the boys who became men overnight!

Thanks to the mother's who let them go off to war.

Thanks to the wives and sweethearts who worried

every night about their love.

Thanks to the children who sacrificed a father to service.

May we as Christians always honor those who gave of themselves for the freedom of others.

     My Favorite Marine
                     Douglas Eric Wirth

I also want to say my 2nd Favorite Military Man

is my brother, Douglas Eric Wirth.  He went off

to the Marines not long after he graduated.  He worked hard getting things ready for those who after him fought

in Desert Storm.

 I am certainly blessed to have many men in my life who are soldiers for Jesus.
I thank God for each of

the brave men who daily face battles of

spiritual freedom for their families and themselves.  They won't back down but stand firm in the faith with integrity against the enemy. You will find them reading their Bible or down on their knees seeking direction from the Commander.  You will find them being a witness at the workplace and a strong leader in the home. It is the highest calling you can respond to. . .and it is all voluntary.  God won't make you serve Him, He wants you to love Him enough   to desire to help Him. If your heart's not in this fight the Lord will

                                                                                       "spit/spew you out" of his army. 

There are also many women in God's army.  You will

find them standing guard at the entrance of their homes. . .not allowing sin to enter.

They will be working hard in the kitchens.. .preparing a fine meals . . .waiting  to serve lovingly

 the men that have been out on the battlefield. They will be teaching their children godly principles all during the day. . . praying for their little babies as they rock them in their arms. . .
asking God to make them strong and courageous. 
They will be teaching the songs of Zion to the next generation.

Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?  He just needs 144,000 good men and women.
HE is still enlisting all those who are willing. 

The battle is worth the sweet aroma of victory over the enemy.
