Tired of wusses in the pulpit, and ministers who sneer at soldiers? Check out the life story of Fr. Vincent Capodanno, a Marine Corps chaplain who died a hero in Vietnam, beloved by all his men, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. I just talked to his biographer, Fr. Daniel Mode, who told me that in researching his book, he was astonished by the veterans, both Catholic and non-Catholic, who have such vivid, powerful memories of being in the presence of brave Fr. Capodanno. In his final moments, during a firefight, the chaplain had had his face wounded and his hand nearly blown off, but he refused treatment so he could pray and attend to the wounded and dying. He died on the battlefield, taking care of a wounded Marine.
