Mike plays music at National Prayer Luncheon
Mike was invited to provide some of the music
for the National Prayer Luncheon where the special speaker was POW Capt. Guy
Gruters. One of the things we seek to do in the local Harrogate area, is reach
out to the military.
This
year the Installation Chaplain informed Mike that he has been elected as one of
the civilian contingency “chaplains” in case the chaplains and staff are called
to war. It is such an honor to help minister to those who give their lives for
our country and our freedom.
The Installation Chaplain is being deployed for
7 months and Mike was asked to guest speak. It is such an honor to help
minister to those who give their lives for our country and our freedom.
This years prayer luncheon brought POW Captain
Guy Gruters to the base as the guest speaker. Capt. Gruters is a former F-100
Fighter Pilot who spent five years and three months as a POW in a North
Vietnamese Communist Prison Camp well known as the “Hanoi Hilton.”
Prisoners were tortured 24/7 and six out of seven men in Guy’s situation were
tortured to death or killed in one way or another during those years
(guygruters.net).
