First - let me apologize for the way this is formatted - blogger sometimes is very difficult to edit...
The way Angel’s work…
I thought you would like to know why we feel Douglas’ story of his ancestors was appropriate for Memorial Day. He was guided and led by great patriots who came to this land to escape oppression at the hands of other countries (Russia).
They were extremely loyal to this country and true patriots. Otto, his grandfather actually died in Salt Lake City – was he a Church Member? We will find out!
There are so many ties between my father and his service to this country and this young man’s family. The spiritual feeling I felt as I researched his tree was not imagined. I felt their guidance. Here’s the Story.
I am an author on Amazon and recently finished another adventure in clean reading for any age group. It's a time travel book, soon to be published, called, “A Matter of Time”, which will be released to Amazon in just a few days.
You can read about the premise on one of my former posts, but for now, I'll just
address the part which involves my soldier. One of the characters, an agent,gets
transferred from the dungeon in England 1660 to the shores of Hawaii before she
became a state. He is so grateful to be out of the dungeon, he asks the Scientist
what his assignment is, as he will do anything to keep from going back. She reveals
to him that he, indeed is in Hawaii now, but that his assignment will be to help a
young man who escapes death while aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to heal, write letters to his brother and inspire him to do something great to help others in their lives.
I needed a character to be a survivor who is saved from one disaster only to help
others in the future and when I went to the USS Arizona Survivor page, ( just be-
cause I am in Arizona and my father was actually born in Tucson, Arizona), his name leaped off the page of all the survivors.
Douglas was a sharpshooter and his father was a Boxing champion – so was my
father.
Then I found out that his family was from the Netherlands on his mother’s side. That was just a quirky coincidence. My father in 1945 was in the Philippines and was one of the 11th Airborne 82nd who rescued over 2000 Dutch and Christian missionaries from a Japanese Prison camp on Leyte Island, a secret mission organized by General MacArthur, by parachuting into the camp while the Japanese were doing their exercises from an altitude of only 500 feet at dawn. On the History Channel the story has been made into a documentary called Raid at Los Banos - rescue at dawn..
Douglas lost his last battle as a pilot over Manila Bay in The Philippines and his name is engraved on a plaque or wall on that island in Manila coincidentally, where my father reported from the jungles of Leyte Island at the end of the war.
It's been 13 years from yesterday, May 25, 2006, that my father, Michael Concannon passed away and while I was investigating this young man’s family, the entire time, I felt like Douglas Hein wanted us to know more about his father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather and the sacrifices they made through their patriotism in leading and protecting our country. Each of them had a Military career of sorts.
The novel aside, the work we do is so precious and priceless and those who have gone beyond the veil are waiting for us to realize this and do more family history for our families. Those choice blessings won’t be seen until we step across, but we can feel the influence of angels when we do this for our kin. I can only pray that Doug’s Grandfather was indeed LDS and that his family is going to work soon on this line. The research I did for them has set it all into play to make it very easy for them to link it to Family Search.
I hope to meet him one day and thank him in person for the gift of his ultimate sacrifice and for protecting our freedom.
