Father Albertson ministers on the front lines, engaging his troops in prayer and catechesis, and offering these young men and women comfort and compassion in the intensity of a war-torn environment. Even after sustaining direct combat related injuries during his tour of duty, he returned to action quickly, staying by the side of his troops and ensuring that their spiritual needs are being met. His priesthood makes the presence of Christ known to those who sacrifice so much.

Here he is sending some of our troops home. He does that almost every day. It gives ME perspective when I want to whine about having a bad day.
And, he is just basically a cool guy.
