Before Private First Class Jake Wallace left Okinawa Island, he sent the following email to his parents in Virginia on 11 June 2012. It was released to the press after his body was formally identified.

Mom, Dad,

I’m doing this for you and Cassie.

Someone has to become God’s Soldier in the Fight for Souls and I have stepped up to do my duty. The signs are getting clearer. Those floods in the Philippines, the war that’s going to happen in North Korea. The fourth Horseman they found down in Africa.

I got to work fast now as time is running out.

I am writing this to beg you to go and get Saved and take Jesus into your hearts before it is too late.

Dad, I know you don’t believe, and I am begging you as your son to please look at the evidence. God would not lie to us. You used to tell me that 9/11 was a government conspiracy and you would get pissed when none of us agreed with you. Please, Dad. Take Mom and Cassie to church and take the Lord into your heart. TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

I will see you in heaven when Jesus takes us up to his bosom.

Your Son,

Jake
