So glad we hosted this year’s Four Chaplains event! Looking forward to more interactions down the road with the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and other veteran organizations.
Our liberties are given by God through the sacrifices of our service members. In the case of these four chaplains and two others from Dubuque, which included Father Aloysius Schmitt, sacrifice for freedom rings differently. They gave their lives pushing others ahead so they might live.
These chaplains weren’t on the same theological page. One was a rabbi. Others were priests. Others were ministers. What united them was love. A greater love, as they gave their lives for their friends (John 15:13).
