In 1970, collegian Jack Wheeler had just married a beautiful
Texas coed named Delores when he found out his draft lottery number was four –
a grim jackpot whose prize was Nam. Yet, in some strange way, Delores never
seemed to leave his side – appearing in ghostly form time and again to save his
life on the battlefield. In 1971, near the DMZ, Jack half-awoke to see Delores
urging him to flee his cot – just seconds before an explosion that obliterated
his “hooch” (hut). Fully awakened by the blast, Jack now realized that his pet
dog Midnight had pulled him away from
his bed – but had the pooch had help? Later, on a helicopter flight, Jack saw a
jungle island below him strangely forming itself into the image of Delores’s
face and saying, “Don’t worry, Jack. I’m
here to protect you.” As he heard those words, a letter from Delores fell
to the chopper floor, and when he went to reach for it, a wind gust blew it
farther away. Just as Jack left his seat to retrieve the letter, a series of
enemy rounds ripped through the same seat, the bullets grazing his legs. The
crippled chopper plummeted, and when Jack regained consciousness, he saw the
copter precariously perched on a treetop 50 feet above “Delores Island,” and he
heard her say, “I’m here to protect you.”
At that moment, the copter plunged from the tree and slammed the ground.
Jack blacked out. He found himself in a near-death experience, rushing down a
spectacularly colored tunnel, mesmerized by white light and becoming more and
more ecstatic as he moved along. But an etheric half-figure of Delores blocked
him suddenly: “Don’t leave me. I want you
to come home – to have children with you. If you don’t stop, you’ll never see
me again. You’ll lose me!” Jack rested himself in her bosom. She held the
battle-weary GI like a child in her arms as she led him back out of the tunnel.
When Jack regained consciousness, all of Delores’ seven letters that he had
been carrying on the chopper were now with him in the hospital – including one letter that had blown out of
the chopper just before it had been hit by gunfire. On October 28, 1972,
after these and other spiritual interventions, 23-year-old Jack Wheeler went
home to his young wife, who was unaware of those life-saving incidents a half
world away. The full story appears in the book The Angel Library.
