Quotes:“I try to integrate and circulate each day.” (Connor, 1:47)“It’s an aspirational thing, to be able to look back at life and realize, ‘God is the author of that story.”’ (Rob, 16:35)“It’s something really beautiful because he’s allowing himself to be pierced by reality.” (Connor, 20:55)“John Paull II, the way that he entered into eternal life, it was a real example of how to die well… He kept coming out and being a father and loving on people until the day he died. That’s how you do that.” (Mike, 25:10)“I am both the one choosing, but I’m also being chosen… God’s choice of me is the one truth that can always be relied on.” (Connor, 31:10)“Life has continued to get richer… There’s a hope in me that will continue.” (Rob, 37:55)Media Mentions:Dietrich von Hildebrand’s The HeartJohn Mark Falkenhain’s How We LoveHerman Melville’s Moby DickReferences:BFC (Battlefield Circulation)West PointWalter ReedPeyton ManningFort Bragg (Fort Liberty)MemphisSisters of LifeArizonaWest Point Parachute TeamSpringfield, ILFr.
