My Faith
Jerry Ralph Curry
Major General, U.S. Army Retired

 

Let me begin by saying that while I have strong Christian beliefs, I do not believe that it is ever right to impose one’s personal religious beliefs on another person. Every person has the right to decide and choose for themselves even though our religious beliefs do affect how we see the world, how we relate to other human beings, and how we view life.           

 I personally believe in the God of our founding fathers and my personal faith is firmly rooted in the Christian heritage that they have passed down to all of us. As a very young person I made a decision to place my trust in the God of the Old and New Testaments. That God has remained with me throughout my entire life. He has protected me on the battlefield; He has blessed me with a wonderful wife, children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and God has comforted me with the loss of a very dear child.             

In my autobiography, From Private to General, I clearly share my life’s story.  My wife Charlene has also written her life’s story in a book titled, The General’s Lady.  Both of these books were published by Believe Books and last year won the Independent Publisher’s Bronze Awards.  This is the first time a husband and wife have won these awards at the same time.              

I believe that the life of each person is precious, each person is important, and each person has worth.  Even before a person is born into this world, that person is of value.  Let us understand the importance of cherishing and protecting the life of the unborn child. The time is long past to put an end to the abortion of our unborn children.              

My faith has guided me throughout my forty-year career as:

  • A decorated combat veteran

  • An Army Aviator

  • A Paratrooper and Ranger

  • Commanding General of the Military District of Washington

  • Military Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Carter Administration

  • Acting Press Secretary to the Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration

  • Deputy U.S. V Corps Commander

  • Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration during the Bush senior Administration

My faith has helped me all through the educational process as I got my BA from the University of Nebraska; my MA from Boston University, and my doctorate from Luther Rice University and Seminary. I value the education I have received and believe we should provide our children with the best education in the world.               

For America to continue to lead the world, it will take a nation of individuals committed to improving all aspects of our lives.  I have faith that the American people are up to the task. 

 



Quotes:
"I opened this website because I felt that the voices and opinions of many Americans, who thought like me, were not being adequately represented.  They are true conservatives whose background, experience and stand on the issues they deeply care about cause them to be deeply involved in solving the problems facing our nation.  They believe it is incumbent upon all of us to join together inn securing our borders, preserving our liberties and protecting our country from the uncommon dangers we face."



"War is violence, killing, death and destruction.  It should be resorted to as a very... very... last resort, when all else has failed.  The United States should never embark on a war unless it is willing to win it in as short a time as possible."
