Iwo Jima

 March 13, 1945, a Marine, Larry Gray, age 18, wearing his Rosary beads around his neck, was killed by a mortar during the battle for Iwo Jima. 19 priests were on the island to minister to the Marines.  Wow! A Catholic, Larry's family received condolences which included 200 Masses, 9 yearly enrollments (in Masses) and 4 perpetual enrollments (in Masses). Who today can understand the depth of Faith in his family back then? Who today cares? The true church of Christ seems to be fading into the memory hole like the horrors of Iwo Jima. It takes an Executive order from Pres. Trump to facilitate help for workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The left ( mostly against Faith and Truth) thwarts their enemy (Trump) at any opportunity. The Devil in 1945 encased himself in each Japanese warrior;  he's not defeated yet.
