Dive into the remarkable story of a farm boy from Kansas who would become a Shepherd to Soldiers.
Growing up in the rural community of Pilsen, Kansas, Emil Kapaun wanted to be just like his parish pastor. Kapaun fulfilled that dream and, only a few years after his ordination, was assigned to take over the reins as administrator of his hometown parish.
Yet Kapaun felt God tugging at his heart to become a military chaplain, shepherding soldiers in the US Army.
This new mission took Kapaun across the world, first serving in Burma and India and then to Korea during the Korean War. It was there that Kapaun would become a radiant light in the darkness, ministering to soldiers on the battlefield and in a prison camp.
Be inspired by the extraordinary heroism of Father Emil Kapaun in this action-packed comic book, highlighting the courage of a military chaplain who went above and beyond the call of duty to shepherd his flock.
