John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

"It's Their Bomb..."

"...and they might want to keep it."

So reads a story from the Daily News website.

An unexploded artillery shell unearthed in the Southeast Tlingit village of Kake 70 years ago and kept as conversation piece by a Kake family has suddenly drawn the attention of military bomb experts, but Kake community leaders are telling the authorities to hold off on disposing of it. The shell is believed to be a remnant of the 1869 "Kake War," in which the Navy shelled and burned the village in response to a Tlingit hunting party's revenge murder of two white miners.

About Me

My photo
Rev. Paul
I believe in the Constitution, strength in national defense, limited government, individual freedom, and personal responsibility as the concrete foundation for American government. They reinforce the resolve that the United States is the greatest country in the world and we can all be eternally grateful to our founding fathers for the beautiful legacy they left us today. Above all, we must remember that all of man’s freedoms come ultimately from God.
