On Veteran’s Day

Fr. Richard Erickson, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Boston and chaplain in the US Air Force with the rank of colonel, gave an interview with the a local TV station on the occasion of Veteran’s Day, reflecting on his service in Iraq, whether he would go back, and comparing it to serving in Boston.

And I would like to add a thank you to all Veterans. It is your sacrifices that teach us the cost of peace and freedom because they so often imitate the sacrifice of Christ, especially those who gave their lives in service.
