Six Generations: 3

by COL Barry Willey, USA (Ret.) Final Act of Courage The citation to Jon’s posthumous Silver Star for gallantry in action described his actions: “During the initial contact, Lieutenant Shine was seriously wounded. Despite his wounds, Lt. Shine immediately began placing suppressive fire on the enemy positions, thus allowing his men to move to cover.” His words to “Doc” Jackson seem clearly intended to keep “Doc” and the other platoon members focused on Joe Roberts for the few moments that he engaged the enemy. Jon, thinking only about his men and acting on their behalf, perished when the enemy returned […]

Six Generations: 2

by COL Barry Willey, USA (Ret.) Barracks Bible Studies Jon approached several other new cadets in our company and assembled a small group of eager men who desired to grow in their Christian faith, while they progressed in their cadet experiences. The discrete manner of Jon’s involvement in these men’s lives, however, and Jon’s own stellar reputation, created a situation that was easily tolerated by the members of Company G-1, though it could have been viewed by some as fraternization. There was never any pressure to participate and Jon’s leading of these Bible study groups was personable yet scholarly and […]

Six Generations: 1

by COL Barry Willey, USA (Ret.) > PDF Version “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.” 2 Timothy 2:2 “Choosing the Harder Right” When I learned back in October of 1970 of the tragic death in battle of my friend and spiritual mentor at West Point, Jon Shine, and thought of the powerful and eternal impact he had on my life, and that of so many others, I committed then to telling his amazing story to others. His selfless lifestyle and […]

How Should a Christian Live?

[…]Tesdahl, USA (Ret.) This recent discussion, which took place online between a West Point Cadet and COL Mike Tesdahl, provides food for thought for young Christians as well as for those who are trying to be a resource. Letter From a Cadet (via email) To whom this may concern (I think it may be someone called Papa T?): I’m not really sure why I am writing this. Actually, as I write I am scratching my head wondering what I am doing, but I feel strangely led to do it, so here I am. I grew up in a Christian home, […]

Two Greedy Institutions

by COL Al Shine, USA, Ret & COL Don Snider, USA, Ret. It was Thursday of a very intense and exciting week at White Sulphur Springs where we had been focusing on the role of the Christian officer (or officer-Christian) in his or her profession. Through Paul’s letter to the believers at Colossae, God challenges us that “just as we received Christ Jesus as Lord,” we are called to “continue to live in him.” This means that if we are military officers, we are to continue to live in Christ in the role of military officer. But we also have […]

Leadership by Example

by COL Don M. Snider, USA (Ret.) The author  spoke on fulfilling the obligations of a commission at an ROTC Commissioning Ceremony at the University of California, Los Angeles. His remarks follow. This is clearly a wartime moment, one of great poignancy for each of you and your families and dear friends gathered here. It is also perhaps one of great ambiguity since we do not really know how we, as a nation, are progressing in the Iraqi war, and yet recognize that you may well join it in just a matter of months. I am speaking of the ambiguity […]
