This is definitely a recon photo, but from the back it sure looks like Mike.” Pat Bowe, Recon/2/503d (Feb. ‘67 photo by Pat) 2/503d VIETNAM Newsletter / June 2011 – Issue 28 Page 1 of 58 The glorious and mighty word ―Freedom‖ is one of the CHAPLAIN’S CORNER most noble and treasured words in our language. It abides with a devout spirit of thanksgiving and bids all of us to teach this captivating word to our youth and families nationwide. True freedom is never freedom to do what we want to do, but always freedom to do what we ought to do with a deep sense of rightness – such as the freedom to speak the truth as we ought to speak, the freedom to worship our Lord God as we ought to worship Him, the freedom to assemble for the purpose of justice and mercy, and to defend these freedoms as we ought to defend them with our very lives. Chaplain Connie Walker Our Lord God is the giver and defender of all true Sky Soldiers of the heroic HERD – the 2/503d Bn – freedoms by His saving work and words. May our Lord, Families & Friends: “the giver of life and freedom” lead us in thanksgiving and a refined sense of loving care to our Herd Family, Grace and Peace to you and all Freedom loving people.
