Gone But Never Forgotten...
In this special presentation, host Colin Heaton provides a behind-the-scenes
look at the American Battle Monuments Commission, which is responsible
for maintaining the final resting places and memorials for over 200,000
American servicemen who gave their lives overseas.
Established after WWI, the ABMC cares for 26 military cemeteries and
monuments across 17 countries from the fields of France to the Pacific islands.
Every year on Memorial Day, ceremonies held at these sacred grounds
remember the cost of freedom paid by generations of Americans.
Thank you, Mr. Heaton, for this enlightening reminder of the true
meaning of Memorial Day and for your service to our nation.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen for His inheritance!"
(Psalm 33:12)
The finest tribute we can pay
Unto our hero dead today,
Is not a rose wreath, white and red,
In memory of the blood they shed;
It is to stand beside each mound,
Each couch of consecrated ground,
And pledge ourselves as warriors true
Unto the work they died to do.
In God's valleys where they lie
At rest, beneath the open sky,
Triumphant now o'er every foe,
As living tributes let us go.
No wreath of rose or immortelles
or spoken word or toiling bells
Will do today, unless we give
Our pledge that liberty shall live.
Our hearts must be the roses red
We place above our hero dead;
Today beside their graves we must
Renew allegiance to their trust;
Must bare our heads and humbly say
We hold the Flag as dear as they,
And stand, as once they stood, to die
To keep the Stars and Stripes on high.
The finest tribute we can pay
Unto our hero dead today
Is not of speech or roses red,
But living, throbbing hearts instead.
That shall renew the pledge they sealed
With death upon the battlefield.
That freedom's flag shall bear no stain
And free men wear no tyrant's chain.

English-born American poet
To all the men and women, past and present, who have honorably
served in America's Armed Forces, thank you for your service
to this nation and especially for my freedom.
To those who are no longer on this earth, may you find
eternal rest in God's peaceful valleys.
First aired on January 7, 1968 the delightful Disney mystery movie, "Way Down Cellar"
begins when three boys, chasing a football after a bad pass, discover the entrance to
a secret tunnel in the ruins of a burned out church and follow it to a supposedly
haunted house, where the new and unfriendly tenant, Mr. Marcus is being
visited by his "nephew Charlie "and girlfriend, Velma.
In the conclusion of "Way Down Cellar" the three young sleuths discover that
their crotchety neighbor Mr. Marcus is in league with a gang of counterfeiters.
"Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the
whole house where they were sitting. They saw tongues like flames of fire
that separated and came to rest on each of them."
(Acts 2:2-3)
In this classic presentation, filmed on location in Israel,
Messianic Bible teacher Zola Levitt (1938-2006) explains that
when Christ told his disciples to wait until the power of the Lord came
from on high, the Jews were anticipating the celebration of Shavuot.
"We do hereby dedicate this Land and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with
these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.
May this Covenant of Declaration remain to all generations, as long as this earth
remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World.
May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those
who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work
that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled."
- The Prayer spoken by Reverend Robert Hunt during the dedication
of the first wooden cross (made from oak and brought from England)
erected at Cape Henry, Virginia
April 26, 1607
May the Spiritual Legacy which established America's
heritage as a Christian nation continue today.
Great King of nations, hear our prayer,
While at Thy feet we fall,
And humbly with united cry
To thee for mercy call;
The guilt is ours, but grace is Thine,
O turn us not away;
But hear us from Thy lofty throne,
And help us when we pray.
Our fathers' sins were manifold,
And ours are no less we own,
Yet wondrously from age to age
Thy goodness has been shown;
When dangers, like a stormy sea,
beset our country round,
To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried,
And help in Thee we found.
With one consent we meekly bow
Beneath Thy chastening hand,
And, pouring forth confession meet,
Mourn with our mourning land;
With pitying eye behold our need,
As thus we lift our prayer;
Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord,
Then let Thy mercy spare.
"Great King Of Nations, Hear Our Prayer"
