The KoB sends word that the remains of Chaplain (Captain) Emil Kapaun have been positively identified. Father Kapaun was an incredible warrior, who fought in WWII and Korea without a weapon. Earning the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) for his actions after being taken prisoner by the Communist North Koreans during the latter war, he has been declared “Servant of God”, the first step on the road to sainthood within the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

We talked about his story of bravery, fidelity, and faith recently here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Jonn talked about him when he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2013 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Kapaun died in the POW camp, his remains were buried there. Later repatriated to the US, they have now been positively identified.<\/p>\n

From the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great joy to learn that the remains of the Servant of God, Father Emil Kapaun, have been identified. I am deeply grateful to the armed services and all those who have been engaged in this painstaking effort,\u201d said Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of the Washington-based Archdiocese for the Military Services. \u201cI rejoice with the relatives of the Servant of God and with the Diocese of Wichita from whose presbyterate Father Kapaun answered the call within a call to the military chaplaincy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s hoping that the Padre can find every bit of peace he deserves. Welcome home, Captain. God bless you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
