            During WWII, Vernon Apel was drafted, served in 
			the 84th Infantry Division known as the Railsplitters of 
			the US Army, fought in the Battle of the Bulge under the General 
			Patton, was decorated with a Purple Heart, and became a Staff 
			Sergeant.  Dad was proud & honored to fight for his country to 
			preserve life, liberty, justice, and freedom for all.  Sacrifices 
			were made through rationing of sugar, rubber, and gas.  While 
			fighting in the war, Dad had missed the best two years of farming. 
			 Everyone tried to Unite to support and help the cause in anyway 
			that they could.   |

			 Do 
			we really understand what freedom is all about? Many have paid 
			dearly for maintaining freedom.  “Freedom is not Free”...  much 
			blood has been shed in the name of freedom.  Has all this blood been 
			shed in vain?  How can God Bless America when abortion has killed 
			over 46 million babies; that’s more than double the number of people 
			who were killed in Holocaust.  Our government has become so corrupt 
			that taxpayers are supporting abortion---2/3rds of Planned 
			Parenthood 8 billion dollar budget comes from taxpayer dollars.          
			Have Americans lost their sense of reality to the The Truth?  Are we 
			being held captive, blinded by lies and illusions of what appears to 
			be right, just, and true?  The blessing of “self government” is 
			slowly but surely, waning.  Sadly, our nation and too many of her 
			people have turned their backs on God and have become increasingly 
			apathetic to God’s principles and guidelines.  We have seen bills 
			and laws that authorize and increase the size and scope of 
			government.  “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the 
			laws.” was quoted from  Roman Historian, Publius Cornelius Tacitus 
			(c56-117 A.D.) is quite telling especially considering the fact that 
			in Springfield, more than 5,500 bills were proposed in a given 
			legislative session.

			Billy Graham has stated that “Our nation is on the brink of self 
			destruction.”  How can we stand idly by when anti-God, 
			anti-American, and anti-freedom forces are working overtime?  
			Remember, it’s United We Stand, or it will be Divided We Fall!
