The parish church of Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy is now famous for what happened there on June 6, 1944: D-Day. Private John Steele of the 82nd Airborne parachuted into town, was injured by flak, and dangled from the pinnacle of the church.
⁣
He faked being dead for two whole hours, until the Germans took him prisoner. Later, he was able to escape and rejoin his unit.
⁣
Today, these events are commemorated by the "Parachute Memorial," which still dangles from the church steeple. It's a tribute to all the soldiers who fought to liberate Europe.
⁣
As our SFA family, let's pray today for all soldiers who have died in the defense of basic freedoms.
