From 2nd ID soldiers pause to celebrate patron saint of artillery:
- RODRIGUEZ RANGE, South Korea — Artillerymen from the 2nd Infantry Division are preparing to celebrate their patroness, Saint Barbara, whose name can be invoked to guard against explosions, lightning and sudden death.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
