Today I am remembering my Dad, Roland Steele Norris (1920-2007), who served this country in World War II, as a B-17 pilot trainer, and air-sea rescue captain. I am also remembering the more than 4,000 American families who have paid the ultimate price of sacrifice in the war in Iraq.
May there be Peace on Earth.
Thy Grace is Sufficient 
I also was blessed to have known my father-in-law, but for too short a time. An Army Physician and Colonel, Dr. Nicholas Khoury (1934-1999) was an awesome man of God, huge in stature and warm in heart. A St. Andrew’s family recently lost another fine man, Mark Metherell (www.MarkMeterell.com), a retired Navy SEAL went to be with the Lord April 11, 2008. Mark was training Iraqi Special Forces when a large IED hit the lead car he was in. As the trite saying goes, “Freedom is not Free” – indeed, it is not free. But it is worth fighting for. To paraphrase Ephesians 4: 1-6, there is One World, One God and One Hope. May we all strive for peace and remember those that lived their lives true to their calling.
