Theological Science on Veteran’s Day
Veteran’s Day is a great day for hearing the experiences of our vet
erans. They help to fill the sensual data for theological science. Today, I am a member of the VFW and enjoyed many stories at Post 3432 of the VFW at Pine Grove, PA. I also support the Disabled Veterans with regular donations.
I enlisted in the US Army in June 1947 and was discharged in May 1950, one month before President Truman froze all military discharges because of the Korean War. In 1948, I had been assigned to the Army Security Agency, an intelligence agency on a German Air Force Unit outside of Nuremberg, Germany. We had thousands of antennas on the Air Force base to intercept radio communications.
As an honored basketball player in the State of Pennsylvania in 1947, I played basketball on our base basketball team. The purpose of our basketball team was to entertain our base personnel. Eventually, our team was invited to participate in an entertaining tournament for the U.S. military forces in Berlin. We flew into Berlin on a U.S. airlift coal airplane which was landing every few minutes to heat many homes and feed more than two million Germans. My Berlin experience impressed me because it is typical of how the people of the USA and its military help other people in need.

There is a website for old ASA types, try oldspooksandspies.org.
I wrote a spurious piece on my website mentioning the ASA in msbnews.co.uk a few years ago called "Alice in Wonderland" Parts 1-3 and a necessary apologies, corrections and retractions after Wayne Rupp and Munkel got in touch.
Check out both!
