View all 7 ReflectionsI want to make sure that this hero is remembered. No matter how much time passes this is a tremendous loss for our nation, it always will be. You are never forgotten. I am a practicing Roman Catholic and I have said many prayers for this hero. I will be going to mass on Sunday February 7, 2016 for this American hero and again with my cursillo (cursillo is a retreat that Catholics attend) group on Tuesday night February 9 at 7:30pm EST. In the Bible John is the beloved and this John is loved.
