I saw this in a tweet from my “Friend and Ally of Rome” Hugh Hewitt. He alerts us to the Navy SEAL Foundation, set up to help the families of Navy SEALs.
God Bless the Navy SEALs and their families.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Very fitting.
I had the unique opportunity to observe SEAL Team training up close and personal at Naval Amphibious Base-Coronado CA from 1981-1991. SEALS are the best of the best, heroes all, and deserve our daily prayers.

breaks my heart…the best and the bravest. God take them all home to His Arms, please God.
The divorce rate for Seals is 90%.
They need lots of prayers.
Breaks my heart, too….heroes all….
St. Michael the Archangel, please bring the souls of these brave men into the presence of God.
