This just popped up on an Associated Press -- The caption says it all. This Memorial Day, let us all remember the men and women defending our nation and, as this photo beautifully shows, the faith that sustains them in that effort:
Feb. 21, 2010 - Father Carl Subler, U.S. Cpt. Chaplain from Versailles, Ohio blesses a rosary of U.S. Army Sgt. Paul Bliss from Willits, Calif., of the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, at the end of a religious service in an outpost in the Badula Qulp area, West of Lashkar Gah in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan. Bliss was a rodeo cowboy before going to war; he rode bulls for fun and money, and got tossed and trampled plenty of times. So far, through two tours in Iraq and now a year-long deployment in Afghanistan that ends this summer, he has escaped serious injury. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito, File)
