                           Ihope this message finds you all well and comfortable at your King
                            home. As September progresses, and cooler winds begin to blow, our
                           transition to Fall has begun.
        Commandant
      Tammy Servatius
                           This September has been a busy month as we marked 20 years since
                           the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the end of active military
        Ainsworth Hall     operations in Afghanistan. We take time to remember the lives lost and
      Executive Director   the courage and strength of first responders and pay tribute to the
      Greg Reichenbach     sacrifices made by the men and women who continued to defend our
                           freedom by serving in the military since that fateful day.
       MacArthur Hall
      Executive Director   Recently, September 17th, I was honored to be a part of a re-dedication
      Tammy Servatius      ceremony with Governor Evers and other dignitaries of the POW/MIA
                           Chair at the Capitol Rotunda in Madison. This will be in a special place
         Olson Hall        of honor outside the Assembly chamber as a constant visual reminder
      Executive Director   to our representatives and Capitol visitors, that even when war ends,
        Rhonda Kozik       not everyone comes home.

                           We look forward to Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11. As of right
                           now, we are formulating plans to determine what those celebrations
      LIKE US              will look like. We look forward to sharing the details of our Veterans Day
          ON               tributes soon!

                  stressed out?

                      Fact: Smoking doesn’t reduce stress and can
                         make the stress you already feel worse.

                                                     volunteer with over 22 hours so far. I am a
                                                 U.S. Navy veteran myself, having served primarily

                                                 ported out of Charleston, SC. I live at Kaukauna,
                                                 Wisconsin, about 58 miles east of King, with my
                                                 wife, Mary Ann.

                                                  I have been married to Mary Ann for over 16
                                                  years, and we have five grown children and
       nine grandchildren spread throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. Since
       Memorial Day this year we have had the opportunity to see, in person, all of our children and
       grandchildren after a year and a half of only Zoom. I have primarily worked in the Machine
       Tool Industry at Giddings & Lewis and Precision Scraping and Alignment in various capacities

       from customer service, sales, administrations, and operations. Mary Ann is still working for
       the church, but also looks forward to joining me with serving the veterans who live at King.

       I have been retired for five years and fill my time volunteering for my church, Habitat for
       Humanity, American Legion, Ruby’s Pantry, Hospice, the EAA and other civic groups in the
       area. I felt it was time to volunteer at the Wisconsin Veterans Home and share my time with
       my fellow veterans. I have spent time with Ainsworth Hall first floor playing cards, visiting,
       and assisting with some fishing trips. I find it very rewarding to spend time with the people
       living at the King veterans’ home.

 “The Foundation of Faith, Hope, and Love”

 A   nd now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1
     Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)

 Relationship is God’s idea. You were created to be in relationship to God and He desires to be in
 relationship to you.
 You were also created to be in relationship with others.

 Forty-Four years ago, on August 6, 1977, my lovely Bride and I stood together before God and
 before loved ones as witnesses, to pledge our love and commitment to each other.
 The two of us became “one” on our Wedding Day!
 With the Lord in the center of our relationship, we acted in Faith, with great Hope, that our Love
 and commitment towards one another would last until death do us part.
    • As the years went by, Francine and I were tested in our relationship with challenges that
 		 life would bring. Here are a few of our challenges, which you might be able to relate to:
    • Growing in our own relationship to the Lord and keeping it strong…. Growing in our
 		 love relationship to each other and others.
    • Careers…. balancing work and play…. balancing life.
    • Supporting and encouraging one another.
    • Raising Children & Teenagers
    • Finances
    • Life Decisions…. Career changes.
    • Health issues
    • Empty Nesting.
    • Relationships with Adult Children.

  How important it was….and continues to be, for Francine and I to have the right
  foundation in our life as individuals and as husband and wife.

  The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:11, For no one can lay any foundation other than
  the one already laid, which is Christ Jesus. (NIV)

  Our foundation in life ought to be in our faith and relationship to Jesus Christ. As Christians’,
  Jesus teaches us in the scriptures that we must exercise our foundation in Him to live out life in a
  meaningful way.

  Luke 6:46-49 (Jesus says), Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? I will
  show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into
  practice. He is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid a foundation on rock.
  When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it is well
  built.

  But the one who hears my words and does not put them to practice is like a man who built
  a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck, it collapsed,
  and its destruction was complete. (NIV)

  As the scripture says in James 1:22…. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive
  yourself. Do what it says. (NIV)

  We are encouraged that to live out life successfully, our Faith, Hope, and Love in Jesus must be our
  foundation and we ought to have ears to hear and have the will to live out life according to Jesus’
  teachings.

  To accomplish this, it is so very important to read, to learn, and to understand the Word of God.

  We are not alone in this…. I have experienced in my walk with the Lord that He is willing and able
  to help me in my need to understand His teachings and to live out His teachings. The Lord will be
  faithful to come along side of you as well.

  With Jesus and His teachings being our foundation, we are encouraged that in our relationships….
  Faith, Hope, and Love can last forever. Let’s look at simple definitions of these 3 important words
  taken from the Merriam-Webster online Dictionary:
      • Faith…. Complete trust, something that is believed especially with strong conviction.
      • Hope…. To expect with confidence.
      • Love…. Strong affection for another.
                                                                                           continued on page 13

“The Foundation of Faith, Hope, and Love”                                            continued from page 11

  I hope that you are encouraged as I share with you, my favorite Faith, Hope, and Love scriptures:
      • Hebrews 11:1…. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what you
  		 do not see. (NIV)
      • Hebrews 11:6…. And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who
  		 comes to Him must believe that He exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek
  		Him. (NIV)
      • Regarding the certainty of God’s promise, Hebrews 6:19…. We have this hope as an
  		 anchor for the soul, firm and secure. (NIV)
      • Romans 5:8…. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still
  		 sinners, Christ died for us. (NIV)
      • John 15: 12-13…. Jesus said, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
  		 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (NIV)

  Faith, Hope, and Love are words of action. We must continue to grow and move forward in our own
  Faith, our own Hope, and our own Love. Faith, Hope, and Love are centered in our relationships……
  relationship to our God, our spouses, our children, our Grandchildren, our extended families, our
  friendships.

  Our daughter called to wish Francine and I a happy Wedding Anniversary and to thank us for our
  example of love and commitment to each other over the last 44 years.

  I was quickly reminded that even though many things change over time and many challenges
  come in relationship with those we love…. the foundation of our relationship to Christ and our
  commitment to Faith, Hope, and Love must remain the same.

  I pray that in your relationship to Jesus and to those you love that these 3 things remain….
  faith, hope, and love…. the greatest of these being Love.

                                                                                                        13

     candy, listen to music on the patio, and made more art projects. We did more tie dye and
