Father Dan Mode, USN

blackfive has a great post about a Navy chaplain, father dan mode, in afghanistan. i met father mode a couple years ago at a Marine Corps birthday celebration here in DC; he is a true credit to country and church.

fr mode is also the author of The Grunt Padre, the story of another Navy chaplain, father vincent capodanno, who received a posthumous Medal Of Honor in vietnam. that is a great, moving story, and i highly recommend it.
