Yesterday I authored a lengthy Memorial Day message with Bryan Arnold as the central theme. But, after seeing the 60 Minute segment on Native Americans of Canada being abused and thrown in un-marked graves, I am going to save Bryan’s offer to be my father for my biography.
I forgot about this post. I have done the impossible, run a newspaper, with books and bios thrown in. The assignment God has put before me – is astronomical! The German Reconciliation, and the racist conquest of Native Americans – may never go down well with the American Public. Today most will have a Q, and be tempted to salute a flag. Meanwhile, I’ve got to prove I saw God – and He restored my life! If you’re a Christian – you have to admit God got us into all these wars! It was – HIS WILL? So, it is God WE HONOR this day? What about the cosmology of the Natives – who were here first? We took their land. Then we tortured them. One Christian bulldozed headstones in order to destroy the Final Identity – God gives us all before we enter – HIS KINGDOM? Is this – a real and honest offer? There is no culture war. We want PROOF! We demand – THE TRUTH! Put up – or shut up!
EXTRA! It is 12:50 P.M. Memorial Day. Ten minutes ago I read that Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Caufield Arnold was the Commander of the Schofield Barracks that Japanese War Planers put a bullseye on in Japan. Arnold didn’t know he was a target of a powerful military target. Did he order his troops to return fire – with rifles? How many times have we seen that scene? Now, here is the man who put the enemy in his crosshairs at the beginning of the war for the United States of America1.
“Return fire!”
U.S.A.! U.S.A.

“Twenty peaceful years in Hawaii came to a sudden, violent end when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Soldier of the 21st were among the first U.S. fighters to engage in combat with the Japanese, defending Wheeler Army Air Field with small arms, including bolt-action rifles.”
The 21st Infantry Regiment
Pearl Harbor found him commanding Headquarters Company of the 21st Infantry Regiment at Schofield Barracks, Territory of Hawaii. Soon after, Captain Arnold transferred to the Air Transport Command, where he was assigned as intelligence officer and adjutant of the 18th Transport Group in Amberly, Australia
