Subject: Father Brendt's heartfelt recording of "A Soldier's Silent Night"

Most of us have read the poem, "A Soldier's Silent Night" before. But I want to share a remarkable and heartfelt reading of this poem as recorded by Father Ted Berndt of Wisconsin as a tribute to veterans:

"Berndt is also a former Marine and World War II Veteran and is a recipient of the Purple Heart. The original poem was actually written by a former Marine Corporal James M. Schmidt. Schmidt was stationed in Washington, D.C. in 1987 when he wrote the poem originally titled "Merry Christmas, My Friend."

Merry Christmas to all, and may God Bless all Marines and veterans who served at Da Nang Airbase, 65-66.
