Last night I treated two of my friends to an early Veterans’ Day meal at a fabulous local German restaurant. Fr. Clarence (left) served as an Air Force chaplain during WWII and Vietnam and Wayne (back, right) served in the Army in Vietnam.

God bless them and all of our veterans! As we continue to fight for life in a time of war, my prayers are especially with all of our men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. R.I.P. Darin Thomas Settle and all who never made it home alive.
