I had the opportunity to meet my battalion chaplain in 1-4 Marines this last weekend. He is a Church of Christ Preacher, retired USN Chaplain Corps full Captain; as LTs we were on the RVN evacuation. He was stationed at Aviano, Italy in 1993 and he and the MAG XO had an audience with Pope John Paul ll. He (Church of Christ preacher!) asked the Pope to bless several GI rosaries and thus is one of them, which my buddy presented to me.94E26395-1CF5-4ABD-8D45-07AC10DCB491.jpgEF054CF1-13DA-4573-8EA9-01C998A6977F.jpg
