I would like to give my point of view as the 46th year of the assassination of the late, Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. has just passed and his 85th birthday before this. He was and still is one of my greatest heroes. I as a young Army soldier, and had been in Vietnam for almost a month, arriving in March 1968. I was at a temporary barracks in the Danang Vietnam area called China Beach. We were hearing the sounds of bombing, mortars, rockets and shelling during the night that would shake the wooden barracks. This went on at times during the day also. So my fear was great being an unsaved young soldier. So when I heard the news of the killing of Dr. King come around, every black soldier, and I and some white soldiers became as if frozen in time from disbelief. It was as if a dark cloud overtook the fear of war. The danger of war was forgotten about and replaced with sadness. There was also the “fear factor,” of reactions by the “black soldiers,” and how the commanders would handle the news, to keep a handle on everything. Most of the black soldiers gathered in groups to talk about how we would be affected by his death. A lot of black soldiers went into a ritual that was popular among black soldiers, called the “DAP.” God never moved me to take part in this, so I was often labeled as not a brother. This “DAP” went on during my 1st tour in 1968, and my second tour in 1971. I still did not take part in it. Since I became saved, today I still do not see the “DAP being practiced
as it was in Vietnam. The Commander spoke to us as a group about Dr. M.L.King, Jr.’s killing, both black and white soldiers together. There was a lot of anger expressed from black soldiers but we managed to get through it without any trouble. In other parts of Vietnam we heard of some black soldiers doing some rioting. This did not compare to the extent of rioting that we heard of that was going on back home. God used the Free Lance Star of Fredericksburg, VA as a means of keeping us up with what was going on back home, maybe a week or so later. I give God the Glory and Honor for the military soldiers in Vietnam, getting through the assassination of his number one servant, besides Jesus Christ, being taken away from us. Today, as God’s Minister, both Jesus Christ and Dr. Martin Luther King, live in my heart. Jesus Christ died at Calvary for our sin freedom, and Dr. King died for our freedom as a race of people to be equal to our white race. May God allow us to continue to honor God through his son Jesus Christ, and his other servant, Dr. King, Jr. Both worked here on this earth for us, and we have faith that they are in heaven telling God of our good works. Minister Lester Truman Johnson Vietnam Disabled Veteran 1968 & 1971 tours, U.S. Army
Christians Be Strong for the Lord Jesus Statics say 77-80% of Americans claim to be Christians, followers of Jesus Christ. If this is true where is the outcry from Christians when Jesus was removed from our schools, government and state property? In society the name of Jesus is just a curse word, Lord God please forgive us for not speaking out against the belittling and mocking of Your Holy Name. In the Bible answers are found as to why Christianity is being removed and America is falling apart. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from you God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity, your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity.” Isaiah 59:1-3 The only answer to our collapse is to humbly come before God, repent of our sins and turn from evil. Then and only then will we have our sins forgiven and our land healed. Dale Taylor Spotsylvania, VA Psalm 55:14 We who had sweet fellowship together, walked in the house of God in the throng.
