The story of Catholic Chaplain Emil Kapaun is
unbelievably inspiring. Please read about this remarkable American soldier below.
What is equally unbelievable is how long it took for Captain Kapaun to
be honored.
It is also reported that the Vatican is considering
sainthood.

ARMY CHAPLAIN GIVEN POSTHUMOUS MEDAL OF HONOR
Fox News
April 11, 2013
President Barack Obama
awarded the Medal of Honor Thursday to an Army chaplain from Kansas who risked
his life dodging gunfire to provide medical and spiritual aid to wounded
soldiers before dying in captivity more than 60 years ago during the Korean
War.
"I can't imagine
a better example for all of us, whether in uniform or not in uniform, a better
example to follow," Obama said after presenting the nation's highest
military award for valor to a nephew of Capt. Emil Kapaun during a ceremony in
the White House East Room.
