Patriotism
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.
Five Pillars of the Fourth of July.
The “Twelve Day War” is over and the world is safer from nukes. The “Big Beautiful Bill” passed the Senate and should help many Americans. And the U.S. Supreme Court shut down “judge shopping” in a landmark case.
Yet, a communist–Zohran Mamdani–could be the Big Apple’s next mayor if New Yorkers don’t wake up. And in the past two weeks, three close friends passed away. I prayed with two just before they entered “paradise.”
What an up-and-down world we live in.
As you celebrate the American Independence this year, please soothe your national and personal concerns with five rock-solid pillars of the Fourth of July.
Memorial Day 2025: The Bravest Boehme
Today is Memorial Day in the USA. Over one million men and women have laid down their lives defending America in twelve major wars. Another four million died due to complications after battle.
This afternoon I will accompany my wife and mother to our local cemetery and place flowers on the headstones of loved ones. Freedom is not free–it’s very costly.
It was exactly 80 years and three months ago that my Uncle Dick gave his life for our country in flight combat–just seven months before WWII ended. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
I reprint his story each Memorial Day to honor his sacrifice.
He was the bravest Boehme.
