A TABLE IN THE PRESENCE
Carey Cash
A powerful, firsthand account, by Marine Chaplain Carey Cash, of how God worked, often miraculously, among the men of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment in Iraq, April 2003. Faced with the task of seizing the presidential palace in downtown Baghdad, they ran headlong into what Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North called, ‘the worst day of fighting for US Marines.’
Hiding in buildings and mosques, wearing civilian clothes, and spread out for over a mile, Saddam Hussein’s militants rained down bullets and rocket propelled grenades. But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.
As their chaplain, Lieutenant Carey Cash had the unique privilege of seeing firsthand, from the beginning of the war to the end, how God miraculously delivered, and even transformed, the lives of the men of the 1st Battalion. Their regiment, the most highly decorated in the history of the Marines, was the first ground force to cross the border into Iraq, the first to see one of their own killed in battle, and they were the unit to fight what most believe to have been the decisive battle of the war in downtown Baghdad. Through it all, Carey Cash says the presence of God was undeniable. he even had the privilege of baptising fifty-seven new Christians – Marines and Sailors – during the war in Iraq.
The men of the 1st Battalion came to discover what King David had discovered long ago – that God’s presence can be richly experienced even in the presence of enemies.
