Memorial Day

In order to honor a veteran today, I thought of a brother of mine, Bernard Hileman, WWII veteran who left us only a few years ago. His testimony is amazing, as he was on a transport ship and became quite ill, was transferred to another ship, while the original ship was attacked and sunk by an enemy vessel. Bernie, as we knew him, was a survivor of WWII for that reason, and went on to raise a large family of his own and pass down a legacy of love. Yes, anyone who knew Bernie could not help but love the guy—I know I did, and played golf with him even while in his 80's. And he was a dear brother in the Lord who never failed to encourage me with some of his wisdom. This is the time to honor him and all veterans who served me and you in past wars and duty. This is Memorial Day weekend...God Bless you Bernie! I miss you.
