Combat History: I-Corps. Hope I did more good than evil. Covered three Chaplains as we headed throughout I-Corps. Did a lot of good for Sacred Heart's orphanages; ducked the mortor attacks, and am appreciative that the body came out pretty well. Blessed and lucky and passing it forward since. |
Military Biography: I guess the Corps would say they're grateful I "was" one, rather than, "is" one. As a favor for helping a Marine Captain process his essay for Princeton Theology School, I was cut orders out of Gawd awful Pendelton to I-Corps. I think I'll save the details for the book --someone has to dispell the rumor that all Marines are invincible, right? |
