I want to take my life and the time I have on this earth to try to tell others about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is God’s Son who took our sins to the Cross and shed His blood for our sins.

While in Normandy this week, I was with my son Edward Graham who spent 16 years in the U.S. Army and served in Special Operations. He saw many old friends at the D-Day observances including COL Dave Webb, who is also Edward’s brother-in-law (on Edward’s right), CSM Chris Masters (beside Major Webb), and COL Kitefre “Kit” Oboho who serves as commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment (on Edward’s left). It was a privilege to meet and spend time with them and many other active duty service members and veterans.

I was in Normandy this week on the 81st anniversary of D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history. This began the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe and laid the foundations for the Allied victory.
It was very moving for me to visit the U.S. cemetery at Omaha Beach, and Jane Austin and I were thankful to have two of our children and three of our grandchildren with us. Almost 10,000 white crosses align in perfect symmetry toward home—the United States—for the soldiers who died there. To think of the blood shed for our freedom is overwhelming. Then to walk the beach where over 2,000 died the first day is something I will never forget.
This should also remind us of the price that was paid for our spiritual freedom when God sent His Son Jesus Christ from Heaven to earth to save us. He shed His blood on the Cross for us, died, was buried, and God raised Him to life on the third day. If we confess our sins, repent, and put our faith in Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven—set free from the power and bondage of sin—and have the hope of eternal life with Him. I know that many of those who died there on the beach had done that. One day those graves will open and they will ascend into the presence of God!

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
Thank you for these picture!
I’m in Normandy with some of my family where there are special events and ceremonies being held this week to commemorate D-Day. Yesterday, we met a lot of wonderful people, including LTG Jonathan Braga, Commanding General, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and LTG Rick Angle, Commander, Allied Special Operations Forces Command. Jane Austin and I had the privilege of placing a wreath to honor the heroes of WWII at the Normandy French Resistance Monument.

Right after Hurricane Helene, Samaritan's Purse made 358 airlifts of critical relief supplies, most all by helicopter, to communities and individuals in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee who were cut off, isolated, and unable to get out for help. All of this was staged at the small airstrip near our headquarters in Boone, North Carolina. Yesterday, one of the Chinook helicopter crews from the 82nd Airborne Division came back—this time to express thanks to Samaritan’s Purse. However, it is they who deserve our gratitude, along with all of the aviators who gave their time to make that response possible! We couldn’t have done it without them. Aaron Ashoff on our team who helped lead this response with my son Edward Graham was right—“When the 82nd Airborne Chinooks flew in, it changed everything for us. When we started, we were thinking in terms of a few hundred pounds on a small helicopter. But when the Chinooks showed up, we could move thousands of pounds in a single load.” We give God the glory for every person we were able to assist immediately after the storm—and we ask for His enabling as we continue to help families recover and rebuild.
