I was happy to talk to Bill this afternoon for over an hour. He didn’t get to Mass today. He’s not on American soil, and this morning he wasn’t on an American installation of any kind.
In fact, at 4 am, the loudspeaker outside his room blares prayers in a foreign language.
He’s coming home soon.
My brother-in-law in Iraq gets to attend Mass every other Wednesday. He’s been entrusted with the Host, so they can have a Communion Service on Sundays.
I don’t care how you spend your Sundays, but thank God you have a choice.
The sacrifices these heroes make come in all different shapes and sizes! Thank you!
Amen. May we never take it for granted.
Great thought.
Tell them ‘thank you’ from me.
Please thank them for their sacrifices and for reminding us of our freedom.
