Patron Saints

Post by Murray »

I just found out that the 3 most elite units of the U.S military all have patron saints.

The Rangers- St. Andrew

The Green Berets- St. Phillips

The Navy SEALs- St. Michael

Just thought that was really cool :ewink:

Must drive the anti-"christian military" people insane :lol:

OK, gotcha.

They'd love my job then. I work for a US govt defense contractor on a naval base. When we have our periodic safety luncheons, our boss prays over the meal. He even uses Jesus' name at the end.

Ssh, don't tell anyone. :ewink:
