    R.I.P Uncle. I continue our Overton service in the Army til this day for you. Now I am the oldest Overton from our family in the Army, in your remembrance. I'm still smoking cigars and sippin my whiskey while petting my cat. No credit card debt... Rest in heaven.

      Gail Jackson-Chapman sad? This man lived an extraordinary life, sad would not be a word I’d ever use when referring to this man. I’d use Wonderful, Blessed and Humble. As an Army Vet, I’m proud of his choice of military service.

      @Collin4486 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@myfriendpedro9775 It's not assumption. People are judged by their works, and his were righteous. Even if he theoretically did something to get a sentence in Hell, Hell according to scripture is a place of punishment so people *can receive repentance* when the Lord redeems those in Hell who are worthy enough during the Second Resurrection. Those like King David, who's serving his sentence in Hell, but he'll be redeemed once he's fully paid the price for murder. Only those like Satan, his servants, and the truly unrepentant evil ones will be cast off into Oblivion once Hell is emptied.
