Welcome Home, Air Force Col. Peter J. Stewart


On March 15, 1966, Col. Peter J. Stewart, a member of Headquarters, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing, was the pilot of an F-4C, the second in a flight of two on an armed reconnaissance mission over northern Vietnam. The lead aircraft spotted two vehicles as the flight approached the target area, and Stewart responded he was going to strafe the trucks. The lead aircraft, while maneuvering to engage the targets, lost sight of Stewart's aircraft, but saw a bright orange explosion over the trucks. The flight lead immediately attempted to contact Stewart's aircraft without result. No parachutes or emergency signals were seen, and all subsequent attempts to contact Stewart and his aircraft commander were unsuccessful. An organized search was not possible due to hostilities in the area. Stewart was subsequently declared missing in action. His status was later amended to deceased. In June 2017, DPAA identified the remains of the aircraft commander, Col. Martin R. Scott. The support from the government and the people of Vietnam was vital to the success of this recovery.

Air Force Col. Roosevelt Hestle, Jr., Interred in Arlington Today
 

Air Force Col. Roosevelt Hestle, Jr., 38, of Orlando, who was accounted for on June 6, 2017, will be buried today, April 13, in Arlington National Cemetery. On July 6, 1966, Hestle was a pilot assigned to the 388th Tactical Fighter Squadron, aboard the lead aircraft in a flight of four F-105s on a strike mission against SAMs in North Vietnam. As the aircraft approached the town of Thai Ngyuen, anti-aircraft began firing at them. Crews aboard one aircraft observed a large ball rising from the ground, though no crash was observed. Based on this information, Hestle was declared missing in action. In January 1995, during the 33rd Joint Field Activity (JFA), a joint U.S./Vietnam team excavated an F-105 crash site. Several pieces of life support equipment were recovered, but no remains were recovered. On April 15, 2015, a Joint Forensic Review (JFR) team received possible human remains recovered by a Vietnamese national who was farming in the area in 1996.

Army Staff Sgt. Marshall F. Kipina Accounted for

On July 13, 1966 Sgt. Marshall F. Kipina was assigned to the 131st Aviation Company, serving as an observer aboard an OV-1C aircraft, on a night surveillance mission from Phu Bai Airfield over Attapu Province, Laos. Visibility was poor due to heavy thunderstorms. Radar and radio contact were lost with the aircraft, which was not uncommon due to the mountainous terrain in that part of Laos. When the aircraft did not return as scheduled, search efforts were initiated, but no crash site was found. DPAA is grateful to the government and people of Laos for their assistance in accounting for Kipina.

Vietnam Helicopter Pilot and Crewmember Monument to be Dedicated April 18

Please join me for the dedication ceremony of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilot and Crewmember Monument at Arlington National Cemetery on April 18, 2018, at 4:00 pm.

This important monument honors the nearly 5,000 helicopter crew who perished while operating rotary-wing aircraft during the Vietnam War. It is the first monument dedicated exclusively to those helicopter pilots and crewmembers who died while serving in combat.

First proposed in 2014, the effort to create the monument was led by Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association and championed by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK).

The monument is located along Memorial Drive at Arlington National Cemetery.

Sincerely,


John Rowan
VVA National President

Foreword in Norwegian: 




Bra dag, mine norske venner og lesere:
Jeg tror at jeg har satt sammen en flott blogginnlegg denne morgenen, mens også hjelper min kone lage et flott krukke med Chili og bønner, med ferske grønnsaker! Jeg brukte å lage mat 50% av tiden når mine barn var yngre, men jeg foretrekker mange av mine måltider for å være 'spicy' og med chili peppers - Hot ! Jeg innser at mange andre folk foretrekker smakløs, 'normal' mat. Jeg satte noen varm saus på mine egg i morgen også. Spaghetti, pizza og andre retter, også. Jeg elsker meksikansk mat for at samme årsak, sammen med min kald øl. Jeg er virkelig velsignet på dette siste gang i livet, med en god pensjon og annen inntekt, etter min mening [min mening], lov Herren!
Mine blogginnlegg i dag har å gjøre med sannheten om Satan djevelen, og hvordan han ligger til mennesker, hele tiden, men særlig vi kristne, som han persecutes den mest, å ta oss ut av bildet. Satan vet at hans tid går ut og så han og hans horder av demoner arbeider overtid, hele tiden, for å gjøre oss falle og snudd. Men vi har den Hellige Ånd, til å plukke oss opp og ta oss med energi, kraft og kjærlighet for vår Herre, Jesus Kristus.

Hi  Friends,
     Today, where I live,  is the "Calm before the Storm" Snow Blizzard that will dump a ton of snow on us...  LOL.   We shall see.   I just hope that the storm doesn't delay the mail service and other transported goods, etc.    But we are blessed enough to have plenty of food and goods in house, also a great Ram Dodge pick up truck with 4WD [4-Wheel Drive], and my wife loves to drive it more than her old Buick.   
      In a way,  mankind is also living in the "Calm before the Storm"  but most of the world is already under the thumb of fierce, highly motivated demonic forces under STD [Satan the Devil], and what's worse,  they don't even KNOW IT !   It's a 'win-win situation' with the devil -- weather we know about him or not,  he is still very powerful and a great deceiver.  In fact the term:  Satan means "Rebel, or Resister", and Devil means,  "Slanderer, or Liar."  Back in Genesis, he first lied to the weakest link,  Eve.   Adam was knowledgeable and educated by the Father --- but he made that terrible mistake of siding/ staying with his beautiful wife,  Eve, and they brought the whole human race into sin and misery.   And now, 6000 years later,  we have a sinful, corrupt, world of violence, armed with Nuclear weapons !   Satan is dancing for joy, that pervert !   He has also ripped away ONE THIRD of the angels in heaven --- but they don't have a very bright future either at this point,  as the KJV Bible makes that so abundantly clear.  
       So,  please ponder on this:   After we mortals live about 70-100 years on planet Earth, where do we want to spend the rest of eternity ??   There are only 2 -- choices:   The wide and spacious road to eternal punishment,  or the cramped and narrow road to everlasting life in a nice, comfortable place near Father God and Jesus Christ who promise and guarantee everything GOOD and WONDERFUL ?    Friends,  let us ponder and reason on this point.   Many of us have already spent a large part of our lives in torment, working so hard just to pay the bills, fighting with disease, PAIN, injuries and injustice, etc.....  so WHY would we want to go to hell and suffer more ??   Remember,  we are not perfect and will never be perfect while on Earth, unless we are the few to survive Armageddon at the end of the Great Tribulation {Revelation 16: 16}.   And we DO NOT HAVE TO BE Perfect to get to heaven, nor can we do any special 'WORK' to merit heaven.   Salvation and Heaven are a FREE GIFT from God !   But only if we are humble enough to understand and accept this free Gift, and bend knee to Jesus, trying to follow Him to the best of our natural ability.  


Friends,   I have often admitted that I am a poor, old, sinful, messed up human being, man, with many faults that I am still working on!   So, if a man like me can somehow find Salvation and the promise of Heaven --- so can any of You fine people !  
      I will bet that many of you older people are suffering from aching pain, arthritis, joint pain, poor eye sight and multiple injuries -- just like me.   Just keep pushing yourself for a little time --- and not only wait for the Rapture,  but have an active part in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.   I find it easy to just hand out a few tracts when ever the Holy Spirit directs me and the opportunity arises,  with some great Bible Tracts that I carry in my wallet:

April 13th, 2018
As Israel approaches the celebration of its 70th anniversary in May, we can expect to see increasing anti-Israel rhetoric, agitation, and violence. In fact, it has already begun.

Recently, Hamas organized, promoted, and orchestrated the "March of Return" in Gaza. They promised that the march would be the beginning of the "liberation of all of Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River."

Obviously, such a prospect would leave no room for Israel itself. Which is the precise goal of the "Palestinians."

That geographical reference is nothing new. It has been the articulated goal of most of the Arab/Muslim world since the birth of Israel. Consistently through those years, they have threatened to drive every Israeli Jew into the sea. And they don't mean for a nationwide vacation at a Tel Aviv beach!

Over the last few days, Hamas has pushed thousands of demonstrators (including Hamas commandos and thousands of military-aged young men) to gather at Gaza's border with Israel. Once there, they have burned thousands of automobile tires to create great plumes of thick, black smoke.

The smoke is intended to obscure their other, more nefarious actions, such as lobbing fireballs at Israeli soldiers and planting explosives along the border fence.

Though the response of Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) has been remarkably restrained, the world media condemns Israel as "ruthless" and describes the Palestinian aggressors as "peaceful."

No surprise there. Just as it's no surprise that the UN Security Council proposed a resolution calling for "an independent and transparent investigation" of the Israeli response. I'm supposing here that they don't intend to investigate Hamas' instigation of the "March of Return" in the first place.

Why do I assume that? Well, because the resolution calling for the investigation also condemned Israel -- even before the investigation it demanded! That's like holding a trial on the gallows with the noose around the defendant's neck.

Business as usual.

Fortunately, the United States in the last 15 months has recovered a sense of realism and courage that has been missing for many years. Standing alone against the 14 "yes" votes, US Ambassador Nikki Haley vetoed that resolution.

Did you know there is such as thing as an International Association of Exorcists? Well, there is. And it's growing.

In fact, the Association says that the worldwide demand for exorcisms has taken a dramatic rise in recent years.

Last year, I reported on the efforts of the Vatican to recruit more exorcists from among the ranks of priests. Earlier this year, the Vatican held a seminar and training program for would-be exorcists. As you can imagine, the clergy (from any denomination or tradition) are not enthusiastically lining up to get in on the action!

But even the Catholic Church acknowledges that, in the words of Fr. Pat Collins from Ireland, "In recent years, the demand has risen exponentially." Once again, no surprise there. The Bible warns that Satanic and demonic activity will increase rapidly as we near the return of Jesus Christ.

When I wrote Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth in 1972, Satanism, witchcraft, and the occult were a dangerous novelty. Now they are mainstream.

Major broadcast and cable television schedules are filled with regular programming that explores, exploits, and exalts Satanism and occult practices. The Devil even has his own television series! Appropriately, it's called, "Lucifer!"

But the indoctrination and desensitization goes beyond Satan and witches and warlocks. It includes the ridicule of pious and moral people and the exaltation of evil and people who engage in evil with impunity. It involves the normalization of violence, the grotesque, and fascination with death, the undead, and the afterlife.

We deal with these things at our individual and corporate peril. The Bible warns against trifling with the dead. There are spiritual realms none of us would ever want to encounter! But Satan has found a willing ally in Hollywood and the entertainment world.

Some would scoff and say that demonic oppression and possession are figments of our Puritanical imaginations. Not so.

Houston Stewart Chamberlain, who lived and worked at the turn of the Twentieth century, freely admitted to being influenced, even driven, by demons. William L. Shirer, in his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, said that Chamberlain's "books were written in the grip of a terrible fever, a veritable trance, a state of self-induced intoxication."

From the depth of his being, Chamberlain despised Jews. He wrote demon-inspired nonsense, but made it sound believable. He argued that Jesus could not have been a Jew and implied He was Aryan. He said that all the wars in history were "connected with Jewish financial operations" and that the Jew wanted to be "possessor of the whole earth."

Chamblerlain's writings were a major influence on Adolph Hitler. In fact, much of Hitler's philosophy began with Chamberlain. At the time, he was called "Hitler's John the Baptist." He was acknowledged as "the spiritual founder of the Third Reich." He passed on to Hitler the philosophical underpinnings of the Holocaust.

Just consider the unimaginable global and human damage wreaked by this one demon-haunted man.

But Satan doesn't have to inspire a global Holocaust to accomplish his goals. He is happy when he neutralizes a common Christian. In fact, by doing so enough times, he can immobilize an entire denomination or spiritual movement.

In his book, The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis describes the mentoring of a young demon, Wormwood, by his veteran tutor, Screwtape.

Written during World War II, Screwtape addresses the question of whether the young tempter should nudge his Christian target toward patriotism or pacifism. He concludes that it doesn't really matter which.

Screwtape says, "Whichever he adopts, your main task will be the same. Let him begin by treating the Patriotism or the Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of 'the cause,' in which Christianity is valued chiefly because of the excellent arguments it can produce in favor of the British war-effort or of Pacifism."

Plainly stated, Satan's goal is to make Christ subordinate in our lives, even to a good cause. A new wave of evangelicals now seem to believe that if you are not a "social justice warrior," you're not a real Christian.

I'm concerned that the new evangelical emphasis on "social justice" may be motivated by a desire to seem politically correct. But when we make pleasing the world our goal, we begin a journey down a dark path. A path that surely leads to destruction.

The Apostle Paul worried about that danger, too. That's why he said, "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2 NASB)

Satan's goal is threefold. First, to DILUTE the message of Jesus. Then, to SUBVERT it to worldly concerns (even worthy ones). Finally, to OBLITERATE the message of Jesus.

With this formula, Satan has succeeded in turning some of the great movements of God into mere manifestations of human religion.

Jesus called Satan, "the ruler of this world." (John 12:21 NASB) At the heart of Satan's world system, we find religion. In fact, during the Tribulation, the second most powerful man in the world will be a man of religion. The Bible calls him the False Prophet.

Sin represents humanity's most basic dilemma. Religion answers the sin question in one way, and the Gospel answers it in another.

Religion is based on the human conceit that we can do something to earn God's acceptance. That's why the "religious" answer to overcoming sin is "work." Religion always tries to gain God's approval by what we do.

The Gospel says that God offers forgiveness of sin as a gift. And that gift comes on the basis of a God-provided Substitute bearing the penalty for our sin.

Religion is about what WE do. True Christianity is about what CHRIST has already done.

And only one of those ways leads to heaven.

I will discuss all of these things -- and much more -- on this week's Hal Lindsey Report. I'll see you there.
