Wednesday April 11, 2007 I wrote, "Last night was an extra ordinary evening. At 21:00 hours, I went to the ALOC to visit a couple of soldiers on duty with a movie I was able to share.

She has had a great many questions so I encouraged her to come on Wed nights to a presentation I was giving the past two weeks. She was at the past two event


The Catholic Defender: Flash from the Past in Iraq Part 7
It was a Tuesday, March 20,2007 At Joint Security Station Sadr City, another miracle took place today as we received wounded soldiers at the Troop Medical Clinic (TMC). They were hit by sniper fire, after discovering a major IED that would have done much damage. The enemy planned to detonate the IED and then shoot at the first responders. Because they didn't use the IED (it was blown up by us with no one hurt, the soldiers that were wounded will survive and be fine. Everyth

The Catholic Defender: The Need for Catholic Apologetics
Recently, a friend sent me a request to post an article asking, "I'd like to see you do a post on the issue that same website brings up about a crisis in Catholic apologetics". In virtue of our Baptism and confirmation, all Catholics are called to be "Apologists" in some form beginning with parents. The family is the most important foundation that children are raised. The Church is strongest when the family is healthy and children are being taught a clear conscious. You
