So Hugh...your opinion on the old phrase about there being no athiests in foxholes? A buddy of mine carried a St. Christopher medal, a jewish star, a cross, a crucifix...he told me he was looking for any and all the help he might find. Since he made it back to "the world", he thought one or all of them must have helped...BTW, a belated thanks for your service...people like you and my buddy allowed many others to remain in school and debate religious philosophy...
