The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Wednesday Hero

This Post Was Suggested By Michael

Capt. Emil Kapaun
Capt. Emil Kapaun
35 years old from  Pilsen, Kansas
3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry
April 20, 1916 - May 23, 1951
U.S. Army

Not only is Emil Joseph Kapaun to be awarded the Medal Of Honor on April 11 for his actions while a POW in North Korea in 1951, he's also being considered for Sainthood by the Catholic church.  While being held captive he would selflessly help his fellow POW's by giving them his food, raising morale and stealing medicine amongst other things.  And because he was a priest he constantly ministered to the dead and dying while performing baptisms, hearing first Confessions, offering Holy Communion and celebrating Mass from an improvised altar set up on the front end of an army jeep.  Capt. Kapaun died on May 23, 1951 when he developed a blood clot in his leg, dysentery, and pneumonia.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom.  For that I am proud to call them Hero.

  1. What a hero indeed. I hope he achieves sainthood. He certainly deserved it. May he rest in eternal peace.

    Have a terrific day Mike. ☺
