  Marine Sergeant Rafael Peralta Purple Heart Nominated for the Medal of Honor Iraq

“Be proud of being an American. Our father came to this country, became a citizen because it was the right place for our family to be.”

—Sergeant Peralta’s final letter to his younger brother, Ricardo

Sergeant Peralta’s younger sister, Karen, 13, was left to confront life without a father and now older brother. She worried that his life and legacy would soon be forgotten: “I know that right now, people are really nice and everything. When it’s going to be like, one year, or two years, they are going to forget about him….Right now they are giving medals to my mom for everything. But I know that when it comes to later on, they are going to forget him, they’re gonna forget about him.”

1. Yes, but think of all those "sleepers", like LOA, who are left behind, live and dangerous. Who knows when the next martyrdom operation might be coming to your town? I do.

I thought it would be interesting to see what the media said about another president during wartime. This all sounds so eerily familiar. You will probably guess who it is before you get to the end. All comers are welcome to take a swag in the comments section and when all guesses are in I will provide the answer.

Luke 24:4-9
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

I bet half these protesters are going to school on government loans. I say we stop funding cutting our own throats. Anyone with me? I noticed the school officials were not concerned with the safety of the recruiters.

On March 26th, 2003, Craig Ivory, was among 1,000 paratroopers dropped into Northern Iraq where he spent five months supporting the field units as a medic.

His father recalled "I will never forget the time he told me about his exchange with an English-speaking Iraqi woman who pleaded with him: "Please don't go home. We need you to protect us." Craig consoled her and explained that while they have their own homes and one day would have to leave, "we're here for you now."

Tragically, in the extreme battlefield conditions, including 135 degree heat, Craig suffered a stroke and was transported to Germany where he died.

Craig was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and Bronze Star. The clinic he worked at in Kirkuk was named the Ivory Combat Clinic to honor him. Then his former staff sergeant wrote and published a memoir which featured a chapter devoted to Craig's story.

 

Passover is a fundamental symbol of redemption both in Judaism and Christianity. I took a class on the book of Exodus in Bible college once. It's the great story of the redemption of God's people being led out of slavery. This week our Jewish friends are celebrating Passover and we Christians are celebrating Easter. In this class we talked about the significance of the Passover and the types or symbols of Christ that can be found there. Ever wonder if this is coincidence or part of the Lord's plan?
