I remember seeing a priest saying Mass at the front. I can't remember if it was WW II or the Korean War. It was so moving because so many of those American men WERE going to die.
If the last thing they did was go to Mass and receive Holy Communion, I think that's a good thing.

I remember seeing photos where the hood of the jeep was the altar, and the chaplain was wearing a stole over his olive drab fatigues.
