With so much bad going on in the world today, it is easy to forget the blessings that do fall every day. But every once in a while there’s a story that surfaces that is a true testimony of God’s great works, one that reminds people how blessed they really are. In this case, it is the story of Sgt. Roy H. Ferguson of the United States Marine Corps. Ferguson was born Nov. 14, 1945, near the Eastern Star area of the Tri-Cities. At age 12, Ferguson was left to raise himself when his father died and his mother moved to Michigan to finish school the next year. It was not long after that Ferguson was forced to drop out of school himself to work full time. He began working on the farms at the Kinslow Mill until age 16 when he went to work for the Backer Brothers Landscaping in Kingsport. It was during his time in Kingsport that Ferguson seemed to get in the most mischief. He loved to fight, and his skirmishes led him down the wrong path. But just before his 17th birthday, Ferguson made a decision that would change his life — he followed an army recruiter into the Post Office. heraldandtribune/Detail.php?Cat=LIFESTYLES&ID=60924
