There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it’s true
You’re a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you’re covered with the fingerprints of God
So look around you and see where YOU can see God’s fingerprints.
This past Monday was Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember & honor our country’s soldiers who died to our nation’s service. There is an actual website, US Memorial Day, dedicated to Memorial Day detailing the history as well as listing other resources relating to the holiday.
My maternal grandfather served during WW2 in the Sea Bees, also known as the Naval Construction Battalions. You can read the interesting history of this unique group at the website for the Sea Bee Museum and Memorial Park. (There are quite a few books
out there about this amazing group of men along with an awesome movie starring John Wayne

Robert‘s dad served in WW2 with the British military, also stationed in the South Pacific.
Whether or not you agree with any armed conflict, wars, military actions, etc. past or present to treat veterans & their families with anything less than respect and dignity is not right. Despite many scriptures promoting peace, there are also many righteous men of God who were also military men.
