Years ago Robert wrote, I though not a hero, am an American Veteran like many others. I was in the first trucks to go into Berlin in the early 60’s and can assure you of these things. The American soldier has always and will continue to endure, triumph over and stand up to any thing that any government can bring against them. The men in my platoon were called to ride directly in front of enemy machine guns, while being “buzzed” by enemy migs. We were told to be alert and resolute, and we were. No one but us knew that we were not issued ammunition. We all fully expected to die. No one left. No one ran. No one cried. We loved America our children and grand children love her still, just as much. We were young, eighteen to twenty-five. We were proud to be there. And when we reached Berlin, the people cheered and threw us flowers, we saw what freedom means to the oppressed. God blessed America then and he has continued to bless those who are fortunate enough to live here. Our men are equal to this or any winter. Our way of life must and will survive. When they enter any conflict, they will not leave, they will not run, nor will they be defeated. They will fight because they love us, you and me, and because they love this land of opportunity. Once again, God will bless America. Around the world, freedom’s head will be held high.

Do you have conflicts or mountains too high to climb? Robert experienced many, so absorb the lessons he learned and hold your head high as you learn to fight the good fight with honor and power. Learn to love yourself as our fighting men still love you!

Courage under fire.
"A Walk With God", is a composite of Robert's trust in his God. I observed him when he was confronted with the discouraging news of a tumor in his brain. Many others kept tabs on him the following year as he waited for surgery.Although it took a while to sort out his belief system, he stayed the course and trusted the one he serves. The contemplation of possible death was no stranger to him, yethe continued to make the most of the compassion he has always poured out to those around him. He lived his life as he has always lived it. His book is testimony to his life, his trials, and evidence that he considers the hurts and trials of all he meets. He makes time for those who are in distress and he prays with them. When his hour came to go under the knife, Robert prayed with and for the doctors and ministers seeing him into the operating room. His poem "Perfect Peace" exemplifies his life before the tumor, during the year of waiting and as he entered the operating room.

On the night of the day on which this most cruel deed was done. I was aroused from sleep by the cry of fire. The curtains of my bed were in flames. The whole house was blazing. It was with great difficulty that my wife, a servant, and myself, made our escape from the conflagration. The destruction was complete. My entire worldly wealth was swallowed up, and I resigned myself thenceforward to despair. I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity. But I am detailing a chain of facts---and wish not to leave even a possible link imperfect. On the day succeeding the fire, I visited the ruins. The walls, with one exception, had fallen in. This exception was found in a compartment wall, not very thick, which stood about the middle of the house, and against which had rested the head of my bed. The plastering had here, in great measure, resisted the action of the fire---a fact which I attributed to its having been recently spread. About this wall a dense crowd were collected, and many persons seemed to be examining a particular portion of it with very minute and eager attention. The words "strange!" "singular!" and other similar expressions, excited my curiosity. I approached and saw, as if graven in bas-relief (bas-relief, a carving or scupture in which the figures project only slightly from the background.) upon the white surface, the figure of a gigantic cat. The impression was given with an accuracy truly marvelous. There was a rope about the animal's neck. (from page105C, THE BLACK CAT by Edgar Allan Poe) ... Read more
