.
Editor Carl placed the following paragraphs into the first page of this last issue. If you want the publication of The Trooper to continue, you need to make your opinion known to the Chairman, Board of Directors (Karl Sharples). He may be reached as follows: TP - 570.443.0889; eMail - Director-KS@8Cavalry.Org ; USPS - Karl Sharples, 738 Aspen Road, White Haven, PA 18661-9474. I’m told that if a sufficient number of the membership responds in the affirmative, The Trooper will be authorized to be published for as long as there is an Editor to accomplish this task. So splurge a dime for a phone call, 42 cents for a stamp or click your mouse to make your wants and wishes known to Director Sharples. If The Trooper is authorized for continued publication, the next issue will be scheduled for the first quarter (Jan, Feb, Mar) 2009. As The Trooper's existance depends on you, I urge you to contact Chairman Sharples as outlined above and make your wants known!! Honor and Courage Whitey Reese

. CHAPLAIN PEGGIE'S FINAL NEWSLETTER |
|
SEASONS To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven... Ecclesiastes 3:1 This will be the final communication from me as the Chaplain of the 8th Cavalry Regiment Association. The new By-Laws state that in order to hold an office the person must be a member not an associate member. This is a positive step that I affirm. Trying to express how much it has meant to me to serve the Lord and the 8th as Chaplain for the past five years is impossible. I had the encouragement of everyone. But I want to especially thank Carl Moreland who proofed each newsletter, made brotherly suggestions and then sent them out. Thank you Carl! Perhaps the best way of ending this final newsletter from me is to quote parts of what was on the website in January 2003. For first time visitors to this page, let me introduce myself. My name is Peggie Lauber Miller from Lancaster, PA. My brother Robert W. LAUBER was a Lt. in Korea assigned to G Company from mid August through November 1950. He proudly served his country for over twenty-two years retiring as a LTC in 1970. President Bob Cable asked me to serve as your Chaplain. I am neither an official military chaplain nor an ordained minister. I know at certain times the Lord calls women to serve Him in positions when no man is available. Scripture says, "He who calls you will be faithful to equip you." I believe He called me. I am honored and humbled to serve as your civilian chaplain as long as the Lord desires. I believe the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of my life. I have been born again by the Holy Spirit. Scripture states we are all ministers of the gospel. I want to encourage you to live your life to reflect the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. We should be light and salt drawing people through the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ. It means we need to be in contact daily with the Lord seeking his will and being obedient to his directions. The world needs to see joyful victorious Christians. Those who laugh, love, reach out to the lonely, the hurting, the rejected, the sick in body, mind and spirit and bring Hope. I don't want to be Chaplain in name only. Periodically I will write an email Chaplain's Corner News Letter. It will include items of current interest, items you might want to propose and explore, definitely a prayer and praise section, maybe a testimony on how the Lord changed your life when you surrendered to Him. In this way we can begin to become "family." "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." To everything there is a season and a time. I eagerly wait to see the Lord’s next assignment for me.
