                                    This preacher as a young Army Brat first became aware of the Horrors of war at the tender age of seven years, when he could not understand why all the buildings were down as a dependent in Germany.  My father made the United States Army his major career as a Professional Soldier retiring in 1957 with the Rank of Major. He was a Life Member of the American Legion.  Not content with retirement he served as a parole officer for the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  He also became a Commander in the Auxiliary Coast Guard.  He along with my mother and a son(active duty), rest in the National Cemetery Annville, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania.  Along with many dear departed Veteran neighbors, friends, and acquaintances.

                                     My brother served on active duty in Vietnam as an enlisted man in the United States Army.  He became a Non-Commissioned Officer in the field of State Corrections(Para-military).  At the present time he has a commission in Security. Clearance Top Secret.

                                  My son served on active duty with the United States Army, and later with National Guard.  Another son served in the United States Army and was accidentally killed while on active duty (now with the Lord his body waiting the great resurrection) .  My youngest son served on active duty with the United States Marine Corps.

                                       My wife’s father was in the United States Marine Corps, and the United States Army during the War Years.  Her brother also served in the United States Army.

                                      This preacher served as an Enlisted Person in the United States Air Force security service during the Vietnam years, and "the Cuban Crisis.”  Top Secret Security Clearance. Is a life member of the American Legion.  Served as a Non-Commissioned Officer in Para-military County and State Corrections. Retired and was commissioned for life in the Lord’s Army serving as Lead (Colonel-non-Federal) Chaplain of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Citizen’s Militia (Bucktails), and Chief Chaplain(Full Colonel-non-Federal) Full Colonel-non-Federal Colonial Marines(National).

   I believe without argument or controversy that this preacher having lived a lifetime as a veteran of a veteran raised and educated by active duty veterans is humbly qualified to speak for veterans.

                                       But, preacher our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is against the Military!!!  He Is?  Well, How do you explain????  Timothy being charged to be a good soldier of the Lord?  A commander -soldier of Rome displayed greater “faith” than all of Israel”.  When soldiers became believers they were told by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to be “satisfied with their wages(???).”  And the jailer was born again and saved along with all of his family.  “AND THE ARMIES WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN FOLLOWED HIM UPON WHITE HORSES, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.  AND OUT OF HIS MOUTH GOETH A SHARP SWORD, THAT WITH IT HE SHOULD SMITE THE NATIONS: AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON: AND HE TREADETH THE WINEPRESS OF THE FIERCENESS AND WRATH OF ALMIGHTY GOD.”(!!!!?????) Revelation 19 : 14-15.

                                        Folks, please understand that no one despises war more than the military - all branches.  So we must salute and honor those veterans of all services, Reserves, National Guard, and unpaid volunteers self armed Home Guard(Militia being necessary to the security of a Free State)-Law Enforcement, EMS, Jailers, Fire Fighters, and Town Watchers especially in these United States of America a Christian Constitutional Republic a “Nation under God”.

                                  “THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.  THOU THEREFORE ENDURE HARDNESS, AS A GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST.  NO MAN THAT WARRETH ENTANGELETH WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE THAT HE MAY PLEASE HIM WHO HATH CHOSEN HIM TO BE A SOLDIER.”  II Timothy 2 : 1-4.  As a preacher of the saving gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ this pastor has humbly enlisted for life in the “ARMY OF THE LORD.”  The Most High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God(The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost), Which created us in His Image(Body, Soul, and Spirit).  Enlistment in The Lords Army is very simple for one must accept the Free Gift of Grace offered to “WHOSOEVER(all races, tongues, all inclusive-everyone)” by believing with their whole heart, body, soul, and very being, and through faith repent by remorsefully confessing and turning from their sins, calling only on the Precious and Holy Name of Jesus Christ(THE ONLY NAME WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED), trusting entirely in His Shed Blood for the remission of our sins and eternal life in heaven.  Therefore becoming New Creatures, Children of Almighty God, saints and members of His Army of churches.  The Holy Spirit(Comforter) of Almighty God takes residence within us making us the His very Tabernacle through the “Baptizm of the Holy Ghost”!  His Holy Spirit(Comforter-Holy Ghost) then will witness to our spirit that we are Born Again on our way to that Heavenly and Holy City the New Jerusalem for ever and ever.

                                 In the Lord’s Army we must be Baptized by a true Bible believing, and practicing church, an seek the “Filling of the Spirit” by living Holy, Active and Consecrated lives, which is simply spreading the Saving Gospel, and reproving and rebuking Evil.  As we can clearly see that  Enlistment in the Lord’s Army is simple and easy, but we are not promised a “Rose Garden”!  “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way(the only way-“One Way”), the truth, and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me(Christ Jesus).  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him(God the Father in the flesh).”  John 14 : 6-7.

                                        One of the most beloved Soldiers of Almighty God  a saintly warrior, and even though not victorious in this life, He undoubtedly experiences eternal Victory in Heaven:  Gen Robert E. Lee, and this Hymn was sung at his funeral:

                  “HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION”

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

  Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!

What more can He say than to you He hath said,

   To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

 

Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

   For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand.

   Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.

 

When thro’ the deep waters I call thee to go,

   The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

For I will with thee thy trials to bless,

   And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

 

When thou’ fiery trails thy pathway shall lie,

   My grace all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;

The flames shall not hurt thee, I only design

   Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.”

  (Three more great stanza’s too!)

                                 Once our troops are committed and in action, they must have each and everyone’s unwavering support.  All in our God Blessed Nation should be on bended knee in prayerful humbleness thanking the Most, High, Holy, and Righteous Almighty God Which Art In Heaven for every VETERAN living or dead, past, present, or future for their dedication to Him, His Only Begotten Son, His preserved word the Holy Scriptures, the family, and our Nation.  Almighty God, Family, and Country and exactly that order.

                               If we the Army of God a Family of Veterans would but repent, turn from our evil and wicked ways, seek His Will, and pray, then He promises that from heaven He will then hear our prayers and heal our land.  Like Salvation the answer is very simple, very easy!  Would we but listen, we could have our Sons and Daughters, and Grandchildren back!!!!

   “ONLY ONE LIFE TWILL SOON BE PAST, ONLY WHAT IS DONE FOR CHRIST JESUS WILL LAST”!  Pray for a veteran today.  Then thank a veteran personally.  I may insure-assure you that without doubt or controversy even a small hug is to be greatly appreciated.  Remember that our Precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said:  “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.”  John 15 : 13.  So this Veterans day please Honor all that have shed blood, sweat, and tears for our United States of America. So why not join A Family of Veterans like this preacher’s Father, Mother, and Son, along with Marine Corps Air Ace(WW II-Medal of Honor), Governor, American Sportsman, General Air National Guard All American Hero Joe Foss in the “Lord’s Army”???????   A Family of Veterans in, and on the way to Heaven!!!!!!!!

Note:  This preacher is humbly blessed to:  “I, Thomas G. Cole, as a member of the Pennsylvania Chaplain’s Corps, do solemnly affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United State of America; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will honor the laws ………….Please fast and pray for the Christian Missionary Anglican Communion!!!???

Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in they holy protection, that Thou wilt incline the heart- of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Thee, and enter entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.

 

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.

 

Grant our supplications, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
