In the above photo is the Color Guard from the local VFW and the man to my rear right is James Crump. Mr. Crump is a WWII veteran who was shot through the arm during the battle of Normandy. The snow and cold temperatures kept his arm cold and probably saved his life until a German medic patched him up. Best of all is that James gives all the credit to the Lord for sparing his life. Metrolina Christian Academy celebrated Patriot's Day in our church sanctuary today. It was a time of prayer and for honoring all first responders and veterans, including myself. I spent about an hour or so just talking with Mr. Crump about his combat experiences at Normandy. What a great man of God and a true war hero!
Thanks to all of the members of the VFW Color Guard and the staff at Metrolina for a great event.
