A Most Unassuming Hero

Bill Crawford receiving the Medal of Honor from Pres. Ronald Reagan

Why did it take so long? Follow the link and read the last large paragraph

For Memorial Day, from the Wharton Leadership Digest, here is the story of William "Bill" Crawford, who worked as a lowly janitor at the Air Force Academy for many years, attracting little notice or interest, until a cadet made the discovery that Bill had been awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II (h/t The Patriot Post).

Be sure to read the final couple of paragraphs to learn an additional amazing twist to Mr. Crawford's story.

16,354,000 men & women served in the U.S. Armed Forces during WW II. 464 were awarded the Medal of Honor.

Our Patron

Servant of God John Hardon, SJ Prayer for the Beatification and Canonization of Father John Hardon Almighty God, You gave Your servant, Father John Anthony Hardon of the Society of Jesus, the grace of religious and priestly consecration after the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Through Father Hardon, You provided for your Flock an extraordinary teacher of the faith. You entrusted Father Hardon into the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary whose counsel, "Do whatever he tells you" (Jn 2:5) he faithfully followed and whose intercession he unceasingly invoked. If it be Your holy will, please grant the request I now make, calling upon the help of Father Hardon,so that his heroic sanctity may be recognized in the whole Church. I ask this through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with You and the Holy Spirit, is one God forever and ever.
