Be_Prepared 10 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I did not see the report, but it was about Even Hunsberger. His Eagle project was coordinating a reprint of the "Strength for Service" devotional book given to soldiers during WWII. I received a copy of this book 2 years ago. Following is exert from an earlier press release. **************************** Strength for Service is a revision of a book carried 60 years ago by Eugene Hunsberger during World War II. Hunsberger was given the book while serving in the Navy, and he continued to read from it for the rest of his life. Four years ago, Hunsberger's 16-year-old grandson, Evan, asked his grandfather about the book and why it was so meaningful to him. Listening to his grandfather tell how the book had helped him through difficult experiences, the younger Hunsberger had an inspiration. Evan needed to complete a special project in order to earn the rank of Eagle, the highest level in Boy Scouts. He asked his grandfather if republishing the book as a spiritual aid for U.S. service personnel today would be a good Eagle Scout project. "Not good," whispered Eugene, whose stroke had made speech difficult. "Great!" After receiving permission from the United Methodist Publishing House to republish the book, Evan and 45 volunteers spent 2,500 hours scanning and correcting copy from the book into computers. ************ The Commission on United Methodist Men supported Even in the development and fundraising for the project. They gave Even, a Roman Catholic, its Good Samaritan Award for his exceptional work on the initiative. So far, over 120,000 have been distributed. Link to post Share on other sites
