An officer and a Christian
On April 8, 1945, one month before VE Day in Europe, a German sniper took the leg and almost the life of Philip Larimore. Just three years earlier, at 17, Phil was the youngest-known graduate of the Army’s Officer Training School. At 18, he was its youngest commissioned officer. At 19, he spent over a year in combat; at times the average life expectancy of front-line officers was 21 days.
From Picnic To Peril: How A Young Couple’s World Was Shattered By Japan’s Attack On Pearl Harbor
The following is an excerpt from the book “At First Light: A True World War II Story of a Hero, His Bravery, And An Amazing Horse” by Walt Larimore and Mike Yorkey (Knox Press, April 19, 2022). *** On Saturday evening, December 6, 1941, “Phil,” as Marilyn called him and as he now liked to be called, took her out for dinner at the Bungalow, a popular seafood restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi that overlooked the calm, brown waters of the Mississippi Sound.
The Army called him a handicap. History calls him a hero. Original
You’ve probably never heard of Phil Larimore — a teenage hero of World War II whose story sounds too improbable to be true. But behind the unbelievable details stands a real young man with the leadership of Dick Winters (“Band of Brothers”), the resilience of Louis Zamperini (“Unbroken”), and the courage of Desmond Doss (“Hacksaw Ridge”). Born in 1925, Philip B. Larimore Jr. excelled at outdoor pursuits — hiking, camping, horsemanship, sharpshooting, and hunting.

(Opinion) Walt Larimore: The ‘Forgotten Front’ of World War II
Veteran’s Day is an opportunity for us all to honor those who have served us and our country in the uniformed services. And, perhaps, it’s a day to reflect on those whose service may have been forgotten or overlooked. For example, D-Day. Ask the average person what that means, and they’ll mention Normandy. But did you know the men on the Southern Front of the European Theater of Operations (ETO) had five D-Days?

Husbands and Wives Are Hardwired to Complement Each Other
During my adolescent and college years, I bought into the popular arguments that men and women were basically the same and that we only became different under the influence of culture, environment and society. Then several events changed my tune. First, I fell in love with my wife, Barb, when we were high school seniors, and I had to begin to learn firsthand the many differences between our brains. Second, during college, Barb and I began to study the Bible together.
The Ten Commitments of Great Parents - iMom
There are ten commitments that remind us of the most important sacrifices parents can make to raise healthy children. These commitments are choices each of us can make, regardless of our personal life circumstances.

Growing children need healthy diets, adequate clothing, quality health care, and protection from harm.
How to Help an ADHD Child
What Is My Child Feeling? At Focus on the Family, we receive letters from children, adolescents and young adults who live with ADHD. One of the most heartrending came from a boy in the seventh grade. Here is some of what he wrote: When I began the second grade, I went from having a good teacher to a hard one. I did not feel ready for second grade, and felt different from the other kids. Writing words were hard, like writing the Korean numbers.
Facts About ADHD
On the rise among kids, what are the facts about ADHD? The Journal of the American Medical Association states that ADHD “… is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children.” The British Medical Journal estimates that some 7 percent of school-aged children have ADHD — and that boys are affected three times as often as girls. A 1995 Virginia study showed that 8 to 10 percent of young schoolchildren were taking medication for ADHD. How common is ADHD?
More Facts About ADHD
Is ADHD Different in Boys and Girls? It’s important to realize that while ADHD is usually associated with hyperactivity, there is a form that is not associated with hyperactivity. This form is especially common in girls. Girls with predominately inattentive type ADHD will usually be seen as dreamy or detached. Unfortunately, some will be called “airheads” or “space cadets.” Such a young lady can look at a book for 30 minutes without reading a word.
Boek | De griepbom - Paul McCusker, Walt Larimore
De uitbraak van een onbekend virus kost massa's mensen het leven. Terwijl het TSI-team een vaccin probeert te vinden, gebeurt een volgende ramp. Een ecoterroristische groepering plaatst een griepbom, waardoor in een klap al het drinkwater onbruikbaar is. Tegen de tijd dat de Time Scene Investigators erachter zijn dat de terroristen hun dodelijke wapen via het drinkwater verspreiden, is een wereldwijde pandemie een feit. En een vaccin is er niet.
Boek | De blauwe monnik - Paul McCusker, Walt Larimore
Een eeuwenoude ziekte, een hedendaagse pandemie... en alle hoop is gevestigd op iemand die al 350 jaar dood is. In 1666 stierf bijna elke inwoner van het Engelse plaatsje Eyam aan een vreselijke ziekte. Eeuwen later keert de ziekte terug, in gemuteerde vorm, en gevaarlijker dan ooit. Elke dag komen er meer besmettingen, meer doden bij. De levens van miljoenen mensen liggen in de handen van de Time Scene Investigators, die de geschiedenis onderzoeken om hedendaagse ziekten te behandelen.
