DATELINE: 940619 LENGTH:
His heart was broken when as an honorable veteran bloodily wounded on D-Day, he surveyed our national moral landscape with pain and recoil.
{REST} As a military chaplain, I say help is on the way. There are signs of the dawn in the night hour in which we live. Men and women in and out of the military are saying, ``Forward march.''
Mr. Telton and his fallen comrades, an integral part of the American tradition to secure our liberty and the freedom of others (Europe), have strengthened my divinely given, constitutionally recognized (not constitutionally established) and freely exercised right to speak in a free press of my certain faith in our sovereign God.
Take heart, Mr. Telton. We honor you and your buddies on that bloody beach. We have not yet begun the fight.
