Patriotism
Will Americans Make the Sacrifice to Change the World?
The War with Iran has been just over three months. Forty days were spent eliminating the evil leaders of the Islamic Republic, the Iranian air defenses, navy, ballistic missile sites, and renewed efforts to produce an atomic bomb.
A fragile ceasefire continues as we negotiate an end to the conflict.
We stand at an historic “hinge of history” in the Middle East and the world. Will we as Americans be willing to sacrifice short term to liberate the Iranian people?
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.
Freedom for Iran
I vividly remember the Islamic Revolution of 1979 when Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran and brought with him the darkness of theocratic evil.
Though the Shah (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) was no saint, before the mullahs took over, Iran and Israel were America’s closest allies in the Middle East. You read that right. Closest allies.
Now forty-seven years later, the protests by the Iranian people against their authoritarian government just might usher in a rebirth of the nation–and increased peace in the Middle East.
Pray for freedom for the Persian people -and how the USA might help.
