Courtesy of McNamara's blog, in solemn observance of Memorial Day we present the latest in a series of profiles of Catholics who served bravely in America's wars. Today, McNamara looks at Captain John Drum who served bravely in the Civil War, and fell on San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American war. I found Captain Drum's letter to his son quite moving.
Thoughts on topics of interest mainly to Catholics, including sacraments, the Virgin Mary, saints, angels, popes, feast days, liturgy, liturgical music, prayer, Church Fathers, Doctors of the Church, rosaries, religious congregations, novenas, Catholic education, and the Sacred Heart.
