50pk Servant of God - Fr. Vincent Capodanno Bulk Prayer-Cards (50 pack)

Servant of God, Fr. Vincent Capodanno, served
in Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart,
Bronze Star and the Congressional Medal of
Honor. The following is an excerpt from the
citation accompanying this high honor:

“Lt. Capodanno left the relative safety of the
company command post and ran through an open
area raked with fire, directly to the beleaguered
platoon. Disregarding the intense enemy small-
arms, automatic-weapons, and mortar fire, he
moved about the battlefield administering last rites
to the dying and giving medical aid to the
wounded. When an exploding mortar round
inflicted painful multiple wounds to his arms and
legs, and severed a portion of his right hand, he
steadfastly refused all medical aid. Instead, he
directed the corpsmen to help their wounded
comrades and, with calm vigor, continued to move
about the battlefield as he provided
encouragement by voice and example to the
valiant Marines. Upon encountering a wounded
corpsman in the direct line of fire of an enemy
‘machine gunner positioned approximately 15 yards
away, Lt. Capodanno rushed a daring attempt to
aid and assist the mortally wounded corpsman. At
that instant, only inches from his goal, he was
struck down by a burst of machine gun fire."
