Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 24: July August, 1967
Grace and Peace! We are still out. In the jungle area in search and destroy missions.
Thus, I beg you, to excuse the somewhat messy paper and writing. I am a Lutheran Pastor - and thus your dear son was more at home in worship these last few months.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an experienced chaplain in Vietnam, reflects on the nature of patriotism in Christian life. It analyzes human institutions in terms of the divine as revealed in scripture, and questions whether it is possible to reconcile Christian faith with military service. The author acknowledges that there are indeed times when loyalties conflict and that this tension remains until death. Despite the vexing question of whether lesser loyalties are legitimate, the authorâs experiences in Vietnam led him to believe that a Christian can be actively patriotic as long as his actions do not contravene his Christian duties. According to the author, the Vietnam War raised questions about the nature of patriotism that were relevant both there and on the home front. The volume also includes the author's personal accounts of the helicopter circuit he used to conduct religious services for troops, as well as a collection of letters and reflections from other chaplains who served alongside him, which provide a fascinating insight into the complex and evolving role of chaplains in modern warfare.
