Air Force removes Bible from POW-MIA display

I saw many of these tables and ceremonies during my 28 year career in the USAF. I can honestly say that I don't recall the Bible being a part of any of them. Maybe I'm just a forgetful old man now, but an image search on Google shows plenty of tables without bibles.

No mention of it here: The ENLISTED Association Honoring Those Who Served

One of my brothers was a POW at Stalag III and Stalag 17 including the Death March in Jan 45. When he died 3 or 4 years ago he still have vivid and total recall of every detail. Thanks for the ping...

You are correct. However, bibles are being targeted. Christianity is being targeted.

a very good friend of mine, now passed, had a double insulated roof...

Yer post keeps my keel even...things might be tough nowadays, but I’m not even a piker in comparison.

I do, however, have the fortune of having a Hero of your brother’s stature in my small fold of friends, and I value him highly.

God Bless ya, and pray for our GIs.

[SgtBob]

Yep...double insulated roof...

[Chode]

damn, my bad... thought you meant AirForce when you said BLUES, never stopped to think of USMC Dress Blues

endless apologies

[USAF80]

Ours is actually blue. Jarheads must be color blind. All that sand from the beaches.

[Chode]

now ya done it... 8^)

[USAF80]

Hey, we got nukes.....

[Chode]

LOL!

[SgtBob]

Ya make me laugh, Chode! No apology accepted, nor required. My Pop was USAF...retired. He made his Blues look great, but not as good as mine;-). (I think that’s why he asked me to be his best man, at his last wedding...Hehehehehehehehe.)

The irony is I am now a 1stLT in the USAF Auxiliary...a SAR mission pilot...no insulated roof there;-)

Be of good cheer, my FRiend!

[Chode]

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

 And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

 Sunwards I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth

 Of sun-split clouds – and done a thousand things

 You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung 

 High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there,

 I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung

 My eager craft through footless halls of air,

 Up, up the long delirious burning blue

 I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

 Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;

 And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

 The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

 Put out my hand, and touched the face of god.

God Bless...

The only controversy it’s presence would elicit would be that among the libtardian douchbagees, the rightly should be ignored...
