In case you were wondering...
Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day, and consequently the memorial of the death of Father Al Schmitt, a priest from Dubuque who was killed on the USS Constitution.
Loras College has put together a video about him, and it will be shown on EWTN. And about the title - that's our school motto: "Pro Deo et Patria"
We have his breviary in the vestibule outside of our chapel. Set for the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Watch it if you get a chance, k?
