Sounds like he was quite an amazing and brave man.  May he rest in peace.

Very moving story. I hope the Canonization effort is successful because Rev. Kapaun needs to be remembered for a long time.

Wow.  If I'm ever tempted to think I'm a badass (not likely in any case, but one never knows when hubris may strike), please remind me of Rev. Kapaun.  God bless, sir.

Wow. What a man. It would be fitting if he were sainted.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
