Remembering Poland One Year Later…. By William Grodnick, stationed at Camp Babylon, Iraq As a New York City police officer, and the Manhattan trustee of the NYPD’s Pulaski Association, I joined six of my colleagues in going to Poland last year as guests of the Polish government. I have often heard of the natural beauty of Poland, but to see it firsthand - words cannot describe its immense beauty! From the great city of Warsaw, with its old square, to the ancient city of Krakow with its cathedral, to Zakopane with its majestic snow - capped mountains! There's so much...

Dear Lord, There's a young man far from home, called to serve his nation in time of war; sent to defend our freedom on some distant foreign shore. We pray You keep him safe, we pray You keep him strong, we pray You send him safely home ... for he's been away so long. There's a young woman far from home, serving her nation with pride. Her step is strong, her step is sure, there is courage in every stride. We pray You keep her safe, we pray You keep her strong, we pray You send her safely home...
