Something You May Not Have Known about D-Day
Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of D-Day. It arrived with all the usual media fluff. But it’s a serious thing nevertheless, this greatest of amphibious landings. We pray for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, for those who were injured, especially those who carried their injuries - of whatever sort - into their subsequent lives and carried on.
Not wanting to add to the fluff, here's something that's got some meat on its bones. It's an article about chaplains who accompanied the troops. These are brave and, arguably, holy men who faced the danger and horrors. They tended to the dead and dying. They tended to those who were injured and would survive. They put themselves in harms way to save as many souls as they could, while doing what they could to provide comfort and solace to the suffering.
It's worth your time to read about them. We may not be in the midst of a world war today, but we need men like this, more than ever, in our shabby world.

Of all the men written about, only one died in action. Here's a photo.
