U.S. Marines are shown receiving Holy Communion on Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945.
This historic photograph, taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on March 3, 1945, depicts three U.S. Marines kneeling on the volcanic sands of Iwo Jima as they receive Communion from a chaplain.
The men identified in the image are Private First Class Edmond L. Fadel, Private Walter M. Sokowski, and Private Nicholas A. Zingaro, taking part in a Catholic Mass conducted during the fierce fighting near Motoyama Airfield. The image endures as a striking symbol of faith and humanity amid one of the bloodiest island battles of World War II.
“Today the Church shows the world the “Corpus Christi“ - the Body of Christ. And she invites us to adore him: “Venite adoremus“ - Come let us adore him.” —Pope St. John Paul II
Today, we remember the heroes of D-Day - June 6, 1944.
Through extraordinary courage and sacrifice, American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, defeated tyranny, and helped secure freedom for generations to come.
Their legacy lives on. America remains forever grateful. 🇺🇸
My first child had a brain cyst detected in utero, and doctors told us there was an 80% chance she had Trisomy 18, with very little chance of survival. Abortion was never an option for my wife and me.
And here we are today, 23 years later. ❤️
