2Fall 2013 Issue 1 ■ Student JournalFromtheEditorKnit andnot ForgotHello again!One of the uniqueelements of any schoolsetting is that everyfew years sees almosta complete turnoverof students. I knowthat those who havebeen studying here fora while—whether frommultiple degrees or the“slow and steady winsthe race” approach—keenly sense the absenceof friends who havemoved on. Yet of course,every new semesterbrings fresh faces aswell, and in a very realsense, the point ofSeminary is to get outof Seminary.All that to say, thissemester the Journalsays good-bye to a pairof team members whohave graduated and aremoving on to followGod’s calling.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; yourworks are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden fromyou when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together inthe depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the daysordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.Psalm 139:13–16Don Ingle said he would love nothing more thanto thank the soldier who saw his need and came tohis aid. “Today, more than fifty years after the fact, Iwould like that man to know I have never forgottenhim and the welcome home he gave me. Whereverhe is, I want him and his family to know that he hashad my request for blessings for all these years. Nowwe are old men, yet he is young in my memory andwill always be so.”As Don Ingle’s story reminds us, you just neverknow how timely your gesture of kindness may be—or how lasting its impact may be on the one whoreceives it.Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good toall people, especially to those who belong to the familyof believers (Galatians 6:10).“I have never forgottenhim and the welcomehome he gave me.”DONALD F. INGLE received the Distinguished ServiceCross for his extraordinary heroism in the defense of Bataanand while a prisoner of the Japanese during World WarII. A radio operator with the 31st Infantry Regiment, Mr.Ingle became a prisoner at the fall of Bataan and survivedthe infamous death march which took a heavy toll amongstthose who were forced into captivity on 8 April 1942. Afterimprisonment in several POW camps in the Philippines, Mr.Ingle was finally liberated in Japan in September, 1945.© 2013 Legion of ValorDon Ingle excerpts from “I Remember It Well,”Tampa Tribune May 13, 1997
