BURIAL AT SEA

Burial at Sea - WWII Avenger Aircraft
This is a very touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT Photo-shopped, it's real. Notice in the opening shot of the plane landing on the carrier deck the gunner's position is all shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged. Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then shows the chaplain saying final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and this patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into the sea. This is what 18 to 24 year old "boys" were doing from 1942 to 1945. (Half of them not even old enough to vote.) |
No safe spaces, no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with, just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed snowflakes of today could act like fools decades later.
This 2 minute video is pretty moving. Worth your while. "What actually made this country great is ordinary people like this doing extraordinary things.

On February 22, 1900, the first Fourth Degree exemplification or degree ceremony was held in New York City. The Fourth Degree imparts a lesson on the virtue of patriotism. The primary purpose of this degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism in members and the community at large and encourage active Catholic citizenship. Today there are some 300,000 Fourth Degree Knights out of the total 1.7 million member Knights of Columbus. Local units, called assemblies, draw their members from Knights of Columbus councils. The qualifications for membership in the Fourth Degree are: membership in the Knights for at least one year and being a Third Degree Knight. |
 Member Jack Flood visited recently and submitted this photo of Father Capodanno displayed in the museum.
