Saints and Veterans - What do they have in common?
Happy Veteran's Day!! I especially want to wish my brother John a great day. John served in the Vietnam War in the late 60's, early 70's. I was merely 5 years old when he returned (thank God) to us, and a good thing he did! He has been such an asset to this country, not just in his service, but as a citizen as well. John is my oldest brother, someone I have always looked up to and has never let me down. Thank you God for my brother John! In honor of my brother I thought I would share this story with you. It is a story of courage AND faith. Last Thanksgiving my nephew had come home for a holiday visit and was all excited to tell us about his new girlfriend (by the way, they are now engaged). As we were sitting around the rather large dining room table surrounded by cozy decor and music, my nephew mentioned to me that even though he still considers himself Catholic he doesn't really "believe in all the Catholic stuff." "Like what," I asked?
