"Serving as a military chaplain deployed to a war zone is essentially the same as serving as a pastor of a parish in Kentucky, said Father Benedict “Ben” Brown on Memorial Day.
“But the setting was quite different,” he told hundreds of listeners gathered at Patriots Peace Memorial on River Road May 30.
The gathering honored all those who have made the supreme sacrifice in service to the United States and recognized two servicemen who died in 2021.
Two glass plates were added to the memorial in the names of 1st Lieutenant Scot Wayne Ames Jr., U.S. Air force, and Lance Corporal Kenneth D. Robertson, U.S. Marine Corps. The memorial, which was erected 20 years ago this year, now bears the names of 459 service women and men from the region.
Father Brown acknowledged the sacrifice of Ames and Robertson as well as that of their families in attendance.
He went on to explain how he ministered to Marines and sailors in the field during his years as a U.S. Navy Chaplain. Father Brown was a commander in the Chaplain Corps with active duty service attached to the U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton; Camp Lejeune, N.C.; and foreign combat deployments. He earned a Bronze Star Medal for service in the war in Iraq."...
