Wish I could thank him personally for his service. I’m sure there’s a great Pearl Harbor reunion going on in heaven right about now!
My dad was there getting breakfast at Schofield Barracks when it happened. Wouldn’t say any more than that. He’s buried at Arl Natl. WWll, Korea and Vietnam on his head Stone.

Jim Downing never retired from Christian ministry!
I didn't know him, but many many others that I know were benefited by his work for God!!!

God rest his soul. He accomplished much, and the world is better for him having been here.

I get depressed thinking about these old guys. They sacrificed so much, only to watch their beloved nation slide to levels of degeneracy that they could not have even imagined in their youth. RIP.

"December 7th, my job was to do what I could after the attack," Lt. Downing told Dianne Derby in a previous interview. "Monday I had a new job, so I concentrated on that." Wait! You mean he wasn't getting "counseling" for his grief and trauma?
RIP to a genuine hero, and a member of what may well be the last generation of truly strong American men.
