Memorial Day 2026: The Bravest Boehme
Today is Memorial Day in America’s 250th year as a nation. Over one million men and women have given their lives defending the USA in thirteen major wars. Another four million died due to complications after battle.
My Uncle Dick (Boehme) gave his life for our country in flight combat–just seven months before WWII ended.
I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
Six months ago, my brother gave me Dick’s silver star, some pictures, and his “Flight Record” book which he’d kept for many years. I created a special memorial shelf for them in my library. The meticulous “Flight Record” is the centerpiece, and contains his last entry–two days before his death.
I reprint Uncle Dick’s story each Memorial Day to honor his sacrifice.
He was the bravest Boehme.
America’s Historically Unique National Day of Prayer
America’s National Day of Prayer–Thursday, May 7–is a unique event. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world and in all of history (with the exception of biblical Israel).
It points to the United States as a nation founded on faith in God and a covenantal relationship with Him.
This year, America’s 75th annual NDP (48th consecutive one the first Thursday in May), an estimated 300,000 prayer gatherings will take place in the 3,142 counties of our land.

Liberating Iran and Resetting the World
Massive bombing by U.S. and Israeli forces continue to take out Iran’s nuclear re-build and ballistic missiles and many of their top leadership. Despite numerous negotiations, Iran’s leaders refused to give up their global jihad as the world’s leading terrorist nation.
Now they are reaping what they have sown.
Iran is world’s 17th most populous country (93 million people). The liberation of Iran from the clutches of a an evil religious tyranny could change the course of history.
