Frank Tooley, Korean Prisoner of War - Part 2
- By James Moore
Frank Tooley, a young man who was on the verge of turning 20 years old was stuck in the middle of a warzone looking down the barrel of a gun of his enemies. With artillery and bullets zipping overhead Tooley and two other soldiers were questioned about where the rest of the men were. There was a sense of calm that Tooley really couldn’t understand. He never thought that when he was in combat he wouldn’t be scared. He often wonders if the government put something in the food that would allow soldiers to not mentally tear down and be overcome with fear.
That day, on the mountain, all of the men in his company were either captured or killed except one man. After all of the men were captured the marching started. During the day time they would hide and at night they would march.

Frank Tooley, Korean Prisoner of War
- By James Moore
For a 19 year old barefoot cotton farm worker turned curb hopper from the farm country of Greenville County, the North Korean invasion of South Korea meant only one thing; a trip abroad was inevitable. Frank Tooley, who had already been drafted, knew that it was only a matter of time before Uncle Sam came and asked for his service in the American military intervention. Knowing that if he was drafted the Army would send him where he was needed, Tooley felt that it would be best if he joined on his own free will. Curious about whether he would pass the physical or not, Tooley joined his brother and some friends as they went to visit the doctor.

Serious Concerns Regarding Downgrade of Force Structure Prompts Congressional Action
South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, has announced that “serious concerns have been brought to light regarding proposed changes to Army force structure, especially the proposed Army Aviation restructuring plan.”
In order to attempt to head off a major national defense shortcoming, Wilson and a group of 16 bipartisan co-sponsors have introduced H. R. 3930, the National Commission on the Structure of the Army Act of 2014. The commission would recommend necessary force structures to meet future military force structure needs of the nation.

The AGC Ensuring Quality Military Chaplains
- By James Moore
As America progresses into tomorrow there is a call for all lifestyles to be accepted. As lifestyles are to be accepted, Christian beliefs come under more scrutiny. For Chaplains working in a military that is becoming a melting pot of all that is America, pressure for them to not be offensive is increasing in strength.
Since the repeal of the ban on homosexuals in the military and the Supreme Court striking down the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, things have become more difficult for Christian Chaplains in the military. While their duties have become more difficult, nothing has change in regards to the law of religious freedoms.
The Associated Gospel Churches (AGC) is an organization which recruits and stands by Chaplains when they find themselves in situations of discrimination or pressures to conform.

Repeat of Vietnam 40 Years Later in Iraq, Afghanistan
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
We Never Learn from History Because Factual History is Not Taught
Thousands of Americans died and even more were wounded in action in Vietnam. The wounded combat veterans would be handicapped for the remainder of their lives. The military won every battle during the Vietnam War, however, the Communist influence on members of congress led to the United States cutting off all funds for both the American and South Vietnamese military, and South Vietnam was abandoned to the Communist invaders without meaningful resistance.
