Veterans: Faith was bedrock of our lives during conflicts
During World War I, before the United States Air Force existed, Sgt. Thomas Marcotte served as an aircraft mechanic for the Air Service of the Signal Corps of the United States Army. He is not alive to tell his story, but his son loves to share the wartime stories of his father, “an interesting man, a very religious man.” The Criterion invited readers who served in the military to share their stories of how their faith helped them during wartime. Here are the stories of four veterans. (Page 3)
