Tom Hoopes on Catholics Who Died for Their Country

"Memorial Day is a day to remember the strangers who died for us.

"Every year I try to share a few stories of Catholics who died in service to their country since the last Memorial Day and, heartbreakingly, they aren't hard to find.

"They leave behind children, spouses, parents, parishes, and friends - but also a legacy of love and inspiration."

In a recent commentary, Tom Hoopes (writer in residence at Benedictine College, Atchison, Kansas) reflected on these Catholic military personnel and their ministry.
