Produktbeschreibung
The Vietnam War deeply divided our nation during the 60's and early 70's. Our returning soldiers during America's longest war were treated shamefully in parts of the country. In time the public has learned to separate the war and the warrior. As a result many veterans did not speak of their year away from home for a long time if ever. It took me 20 years to slowly tell people by way of poems what it was like. At first they trickled out and then the trickle turned into a flood through the years. This book is also about the wonderful War Dogs of Vietnam. My sentry dog's name was Kobuc. Our Air Base was the largest in Vietnam. The Security Policemen were the first line of defense to protect the many bases in Vietnam. I served at Cam Ranh Air Base with a great bunch of guys that made that long year almost tolerable. Most of the several thousand dogs that went to Vietnam never returned.This book tells their story as well.

Autorenporträt
Pastor Stephen A. Janke received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior while serving as a Security Policeman and sentry dog handler in Vietnam in 1971 when he was twenty years old. He has been the pastor of Community Baptist Church in Garfield, N.J. for the past ten plus years. Pastor Janke attended Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in San Dimas, California. He has pastored small and large churches in the past forty plus years as well as being a teacher in Christian schools in ten of those years. He has authored a book especially for veterans called Poems From A Soldier that share his wartime experiences. Pastor Janke is married to the former Linda Morse. They met in high school and were married in 1970. Stephen enlisted in the U.S.A.F. and volunteered for Patrol Dog School and Vietnam. The Janke's have four children and thirteen grand children at this writing. The latest is baby Sharlot. He and Linda have worked in California, Washington, New York and New Jersey either starting churches or helping established churches. Pastor Janke has been a Chaplain for the Vietnam Security Police Association and the Vietnam Dog Handlers Association. He was awarded the Air Force Accommodation Medal for meritorious service in Vietnam as a Sentry Dog Handler and has ministered to veterans since his own honorable discharge in 1973. "Every Christian is in the ministry. We all have a job to do. Each member of the body is important and needed. A pastor is a special calling and a great privilege. Every church needs a good pastor but every pastor also needs a good church." May the Lord use this book of outlines to aide in the further study of God's word and be a help to Christian workers as the Holy Spirit directs.
