In honor of God, and my fellow veterans I, Minister Lester Truman “Ninie” Johnson would like to give this testimonial in honor of God, and to honor a veteran of King George county, and a graduate of Ralph Bunche School, Edgehill, VA, who was killed in an automobile accident in September, 2010. Mr. Elmer “Pop” Wilson Tyler has been intertwined in my life, before, during and after our military service to our country. “Pop” Wilson was linked to me by God, and by Staff Sergeant Theodore Johnson, in Ft. Eustis, Newport News, VA where he and I were stationed at the time. SSG Johnson told me to get in touch with a Sergeant First Class Elmer Tyler when I got to Fort Dix in New Jersey. (I was leaving Fort Eustis on leave, then to Fort Dix, then to Vietnam.) SSG Johnson told me Tyler was working in the finance department. When I got settled in at Fort Dix, I went to the finance office to look for Mr. Tyler. I saw one black soldier moving around, went over to him and saw the name Tyler on his chest. I told him my story, and God’s love came through him and from that moment until I departed for Vietnam, God used SFC Tyler to be my guardian angel without any hesitation on his part. Keep in mind, I was a scared young man, and surrounded by folks headed to a foreign land where many were dying like flies. SFC Tyler took care of me and made me feel special and safe. God used him to keep me from spending my time at Fort Dix in a lonely and dark place. I often
think about this and thank God for using Mr. Tyler for my welfare and well being. Many many years later, I retired from Fort Belvoir, VA, and happened to come across Mr. Tyler, and got the chance to tell him how much his efforts in 1968 had meant to me. He still acted as if what he had done was all in a day’s work. This showed me how people do things out of God’s love. Around 2006, I came across Mr. Johnson, who was living just down the road from Fort Belvoir. I told him how Mr. Tyler had helped me out in Ft. Dix. We also talked abut Fort Eustis, VA. God had brought us three black veterans back in each other’s lives after around 40 years. Praise and thank God. Only He can do this for His Glory and Honor. There are many “unsung” black veterans of wars, or just military service from the county of King George and out of Ralph Bunche high school. They go unnoticed because they do not seek the limelight for their service to our country, and no one seems to notice or care. My prayer for Veteran’s Day is that God touches the hearts and souls of the families of these veterans, along with the citizens of King George and other places, to let our veterans know that not only does God care about them, but that we all care. May God bless all the veterans of King George county, the United States, as well as veterans from other countries, who served on behalf of the United States. Written by Lester Truman Johnson King George county
Veteran’s Day Prayer Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them, Lord, for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us. Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression. We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen. By Joanna Fuchs
IN FLANDERS FIELDS... In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky, the larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow, In Flanders fields. By: Lt.Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918), Canadian Army
