As a submariner for 20+ years [80's, 90's and 2000's], I also got to serve on Aircraft Carriers in the Pacific, preparing Carrier Battle Groups to go west, and conducting Navigation assist visits on numerous Pacific fast attack submarines.
I spent yesterday reading a Chaplain's [LT Carey Cash] account of the Marine 1st Battalion/5th Marine Regiment experience of God's protection of their "Journey" from Northern Kuwait to the central Baghdad Palace of Saddam Hussein in March - April 2003.
I have many "Hand of God" and Angels of protection stories from veterans from the 6 Day war to present time, but this book was riveting (needed to read it straight through). Its title is "A Table in the Presence." Truly, a great read explaining the power of prayer which releases the power of God into peoples lives. I need to contact the author to tell him "the rest of the story..."
The 104 Marines sent from the Communications Detachment in Indianapolis [to Iraqi Freedom] all returned safely to Indianapolis with the worst physical 'damage' of an emergency appendectomy, and he wanted to get back to the front line 12 hours after surgery. He ended up getting medevac'd to Ramstein and joined up with his "teammates" after THEY got back stateside.
We prayed for the Hand of God to protect them before they left, and while they were in theater - you need to read the book to find out what they went through on the wy to be the first Marines at the Palaces in Baghdad [I've seen the pictures of our guys - not included in the book]. They [our marines] were continuously on the front wave all the way to Baghdad, and this book was a chronicle of many of the things that happened to them on the way...
