As a retired CMSGT of the USAF (35 years), I have watched with disgust the deterioration of Christian Military Service members regilious freedoms, for the sake of "inclusion". Being a lifelong devout member of the LCMS, my Faith is strengthened, and I am proud to be one of the long-lineage of those called the "Old German Lutherans". Before I took the oath that went with wearing my uniform, I made a promise before God not to surrender one Article in the Book of Concord. "Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me. Amen."
