My father and mother were instrumental in developing the faith our family of ten.

Dad, who flew combat missions over Japan in B-29's, had an intensely deep faith. It carried him through wartime and beyond.

I spent 4 years serving in the U.S. Air Force, and felt honored to attend Mass on base. Knew some great chaplains who were inspiring to this poor airman. I don't know if its the same today in the service. I hope it is.

Thank you for your service! Semper Fi!
