Grunt Padre - Servant, of God
I have been, reading, about Father Capodanno, in Baltimore’s, Catholic Review. (newspaper) Currently, Father C, has been bestowed the title, “Servant of God.” Information, is being gathered, that may lead, to his beatification and canonization – I'am praying, that it happens. The postulator of his cause, is Father Daniel L. Mode, an Arlington priest and Navy chaplain, who authored, his biography, “The Grunt Padre.” May your soul, rest, in the peace and presence, of Jesus, for you stood, tall, in hell. Nam Vet. – brothers, never forget!

IN HONOR, OF FR., CAPODANNO
I did not know you, but I know, of you. there was, a ship in the US., NAVY, named, after you. The U.S.S., CAPODANNO. (FF-1093) I served, on board, for 3, years, from '79, to '81.

They were, very pleased with the way, we had, our ship together. R.I.P., You will, never be forgotten.

Fr., Vincent, Pray for Us
Dear Father Capodanno, Your faith, heroism and genuine holiness, are the makings of a saint. You always prayed, for your Marines and asked God, to take care of them. My son, is a young Marine who has begun treatment, for cancer. Will you please, intercede and ask God, to take care of him, too? Another Marine, his wife and kids, need you now.

Dying, for the Greater Glory, of God
Our Lord's, twelve apostles lived and died, for the Greater Glory, of God. Eleven, were martyred and one died, of natural causes. On September 4th, 1967, you died and were martyred, for the Greater Glory, of God. I know, I was there, not far from you. Your death, has affected thousands. Thirty nine, years later, I still feel the affect and still wish, I could have replaced you. You, were our priest. You didn't have, to be there, but you were. Please bestow, upon me and my family and all others, the Peace of Christ, for it is in your power, to do so. Thanks, Father Cap..

REFLECTIONS FROM THE MOVING WALL".
I am a monument to a black period in this countries history.I am the Vietnam wall.,composed to two angled granite walls,inscribed with the names of fifty eight thousand,one hundred thirty four American men and women who died in hell (that was Vietnam) Many people come to see me. strangely they come mostly in silence-old people,young people,children,mothers,fathers,widows,and veterans.all for reasons of their own.they bring gifts,pictures,letters,flowers,poems and cigarettes.the letters speak of grief and loneliness and regret.they ask forgiveness.they are an out pouring of pain.the people softly touch names on my face.they water my grass with tears.then they leave in silence and I hope in peace.for I am more than two stone walls.I am a thank you from a nation that forgot.I am a long past due apology.I am healing for wounds too long left untended.I am a tribute paid to fallen warriors.I AM THE VIETNAM WALL. "America has forgotten the wars.will she remember her warriors"? You may be gone , BUT YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
