I find it sad and a little scary that many, maybe most of the children raised today will not have the comfort of faith when we next go to war.
Many children growing up today are almost completely secularized. They have no hope of a hereafter. The man on the ground in the picture had hope that he was going to a better place. The children of today will only have the terror of an endless emptiness.
The secular humanist think that dying that way is somehow better.

James Doohan (Scotty on Star Trek) was shot and put out of action on D-Day with you Canucks.
Bless all the brave souls of all nations who stormed the beaches of Normandy or fought in all the other battles for the Allies.

Not to be picky, but wouldn’t “to comfort the dying be more accurate.”

My Dad survived D-Day...Went to Europe in ‘41...Came home in ‘46...He wouldn’t speak much of the War...He was under the command of Patton for a while...I ask him about ‘blood and guts’ Patton...He said, ‘ya, his guts and our blood’...Bout all he would say...
