Dad tells the story about a night ambush gone bad when he and his company of marines were trapped on a hillside surrounded by 3000+ NVA. He calls in air strike expecting napalm but "snoopy" showed up, dropped flares then "Puff" opened up on the NVA advancing on their position Varrumfff!! Varrumfff!! all night long until the morning, each time NVA headed up the hill they walked into a meat grinder of tracers bouncing around. He was CO of E-2-5 22miles SW of Danang, summer and fall of '67.
my grandpa - Lt. Col. WW Crandell flew these in Vietnam.. he had flown C-47s in Korea and had a lot of experience with the plane.. he was called up to fly the Puff the Magic Dragon gunships in Vietnam... I saw commendation letters in his war chest stating how many kills he had during some big offensive against our bases... I wonder if you flew with him?? He said one night he ran out of ammo, but kept ddropping flares and the VC would stay hidden just knowing his plane was overhead.....
You have to face a Holy God on Judgment Day(Hebrews 9:27). He counts lust as adultery(Matthew 5:28) and hatred as murder(1 John 3:15). All liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire(Revelation 21:8). No thief will inherit the kingdom of God(1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved(John 14:6). YOU MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED! THERE'S NO OTHER WAY! There's no second chance after death, so repent NOW! Proverbs 29:1
