Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
An Army battalion in Afghanistan, containing quite a few WELS members, is soon to return home to Fort Lewis after sustaining a very high rate of casualties. I am giving the YouTube video that interviews some of the troops. A number of WELS people can be seen in the video, but they are only in the background.
Our Military Contact Pastors serving Fort Lewis will, no doubt, have some very special work to do once the troops return. Civilian Chaplain Jeremy Schulz brought this video to my attention.
May the Lord bless our efforts to serve those who serve our country!

About five years ago Gurgle cut the WELS military chaplains off from synodical budgetary support--a trick that he learned from Kieschnick, no doubt. Then he gave everyone in the synodical HQ a raise, I bet. So the last WELS Connection video was about the military chaplains, and they were pleading for cash.
