Congratulations to Archbishop Timothy Broglio and kudos to St. Patrick’s Seminary & University for conferring their Patrician Award to the head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services (“Seminary honors military archdiocese,” Oct. 11).
As a veteran I fully appreciate the importance of the chaplain corps to the men and women of our armed forces. Chaplains of all faiths have a long and impressive history of dedication and self-sacrifice serving our soldiers, sailors and Marines. Like civilian chaplains who minister to our firefighters and police officers, military chaplains provide much-needed solace and encouragement in challenging environments under hazardous conditions.
Archbishop Broglio has worked tirelessly to ensure that his chaplains receive the support and resources necessary to perform their critical mission. These unsung heroes deserve our greatest respect as they minister to those who risk so much in the defense of our country. It is gratifying to see both Archbishop Broglio and St. Patrick’s recognized for their accomplishments.
