A bald eagle was freed from a tree by a patriotic Army veteran, who spent 90 minutes firing 150 shots into three branches ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.
Jason Galvin, who did two tours in Afghanistan, was on a bait run on Thursday when he spotted the eagle dangling upside down from a rope it got tangled in, according to KARE 11.
Galvin estimated the bird was hanging from the tree about 75 feet off the ground. It had been there for more than two days.
Go here to read the rest. If, in the infinite mercy of God, there is a bird heaven, Old Abe the War Eagle was flapping her wings and shrieking joyfully over this. Go here to read about her.
I’m surprised that he was able to do it with a .22 – no wonder it took so many shots – they are quite thick branches and a .22 does not have much hitting power.
Old Abe archive was great. What a story. The gifts we are privileged to receive from God Almighty are as endless as the cosmos.
The timing of this rescued eagle, the heroic veteran and happening on a July 4th weekend, is only one example of God’s grace…. Providence!
As our November to come might feel like a knotted line snagged to a branch, keeping U.S. from reaching new heights and slowly exhausting U.S. to death, the maker of all good things sets into motion unseen heroes and remarkable circumstances to rescue what seems lost. Hope. Always hope and pray.
Somehow come November, God Almighty will break the bonds that threatens our freedoms.
Somehow and in some marvelous way, we will be One Nation under God, indivisible. With liberty and justice for all….born and unborn.
