God Bless Clark V. Poling, and the other Chaplins too.

Indeed. I do find it interesting to walk around town, and the campus, and
remember that Mr. Poling was here. Now that I know exactly where a marker is
that remembers both him, and others that served during WWII, which I'll visit
tomorrow.

I plan to place a single rose there with a simple card. Maybe, some student,
will stop to read it and hopefully remember.

What is interesting is that some staff members at the college were not aware
of the story of Mr. Poling and the other Chaplains.

Another individual you might look at is Matt Urban.

One thing I do know, and that is that one never knows what lies within us,
until we are called upon to produce it.

What I'm saying is that no one gets up on any given day hoping/expecting to be
a 'hero' or do heroic things. They, and the circumstances, simply converge.

Pause, remember, and you'll put magic in the air.

And, Larry, thanks for your service to Our Country.
