Preface

There ain't no atheists in a foxhole!

Now there's a statement to make you stop and think about life’s priorities. I remember an old Marine, a Korean War Veteran, made that statement several years ago. Over the years, my mind would let it come and go for reasons beyond my comprehension. However, one fact remains; it has stuck with me as if he just said it.

In the late 1980's, and into the early 1990’s, I spent the better part of five years practicing digging foxholes. In my years as a U.S. Army Military Police Officer, I worked two weeks patrolling the streets of the Army base and two weeks working on field drills.

In those days, we trained in the German forests with the anticipation of war against communist countries. Foxholes where very much a part of our field training.

In the field, once we established where to set up camp, each soldier dug a foxhole to form an outer perimeter around camp. Our tool of the trade was an Army-issued shovel called an E-Tool. As we sat in our foxholes, our job was to protect the brass (our fearless leaders) and equipment.

It wasn’t uncommon that we’d joke about using these tiny shovels to dig our own grave. The military has a knack for bringing out a unique sense of humor in a person. Later I learned it was our individualized coping mechanisms: A way to put up (and accept) with the stress.

Now let’s go back to the opening statement. There ain't no atheists in a foxhole!

Over the years I’ve looked at the meaning of this profound statement from just about every angle. And my years of wisdom have led to this conclusion.

Imagine standing neck-deep in your own foxhole. The enemy is throwing a constant barrage of rounds your way with one intention: To kill you. Then, take your position. With your life at its possible end – in between dodging bullets and the screams from the guys in the foxholes around you – you pray.

Praying to our creator, God.

Every one of us will find ourselves sitting in that proverbial foxhole at some point in our life. Many won’t know it until right before it happens, but others will see it coming.

Call it fortune or misfortune; nevertheless, it is a fact.

Every one of us will find ourselves sitting in that proverbial foxhole at some point in our life. Many won’t know it until right before it happens, but others will see it coming.

Call it fortune or misfortune; nevertheless, it’s a fact.

The reason for writing this book is simple. Lately there’s been a tugging, no more like a calling on my heart (and life) and it’s been active for a while now. But it wasn’t until just before sitting down to write this book did it make sense.

If I thought about it hard and long enough, I would say it was after hearing the words of the song, Start a Fire by the band Unspoken. I would focus on the lyrics every time the song came on the radio. It started to resonate deep in my soul.

These stories – and this calling – come together as I start to understand that God has started a fire in me to help create bigger change in this world. Not in a generic, I want to help people fashion. It goes MUCH deeper than that.

As the story unfolds, you will learn about a man who I've only known for a few years, but his impact upon my life will last a life-time. This man–Robert Tuttle, raised nine children, many of whom he scared the life out of more than a few times as they grew up.

For example, on family trips Bob would pass cars on the right shoulder if they were driving too slow. It didn’t matter if the road was two or four lanes, he would pass them on the right shoulder.

To this day I get a kick out of listening to each of the kids tell the story from their own perspectives. One common thread was he’d race past the violating driver holding his koozie out the driver’s side window. The real kicker, the koozie had a County Sheriff’s Star on it (like a police badge). And of course there would be a can of Blatz beer inside. As he passed other drivers, doing something stupid, he waved the beer-loaded koozie to get their attention to get them to straighten up.

You can’t make this stuff up!

As God's grace would have it, one of his nine children, Carole, became my lovely wife in 2011. She is the youngest of the crew. Since meeting her, I've come to know her dad Bob, or better known as Poppie. Every time we would drive to Fort Wayne to visit him, he would tell me about his days in the Navy. He had great stories; even if I did hear the same ones every time we visited.

When we arrived home, he would always shake my hand and try to squeeze it as hard as he could. "I still got it" would follow every handshake. When it was time to leave, he would give me a hug and squeeze just as hard as he did with his handshake.

Again, I still got it! would ring from his lips along with his notorious mischievous smile.

As you partake in this man's journey, understand the calling placed on my heart. My goal is to help you learn more about this devastating disease – Alzheimer's. Many Americans believe Alzheimer's is a natural part of growing old. What is more startling is many are under the impression they will get it, too.

I hope to shed some light on this still little-known disease with the following words, as well as provide tools to help your loved-one who may be sitting in their proverbial foxhole.

Introduction

No matter how hard I try, the words to describe my frustration with Alzheimer's Disease stays just out of reach. Just like the elusive trophy-fish that jumps out of your hands as you reel it onto the boat, understanding this disease is enough to make one jump into a river.

All of the needless suffering, the pointless pain for those with loved ones suffering from the
