C. Read

C. Read, a US Marine, was stationed in Hawaii during the “Iranian Crisis” of 1979. While she was on a temporary assignment to Yuma, Arizona, the Iranian students seized the American Embassy in Tehran, and took several American hostages.

A special friend of hers was on a six-month deployment to Japan and was prepared to go to Iran at a moment’s notice. It was such distressing time in Read's life, and her love and concern for her friend caused her to call out to God to intervene.

At that same time, a young Marine, whom Read had never met, approached her as she was leaving her barracks in Yuma. He handed her a Bible, and said, “Here, I think you need to read this.” He just walked away, and she never saw him again, but she will never forget him!
