Catholic Military Life

Father Larry Smith, S.J., entertains with stories from his twelve years on active duty as a U.S. Navy chaplain. He tells of counseling U.S. Marines as they headed into combat for Desert Storm, and what it was like aboard the first U.S. Navy warship to enter the Black Sea after the fall of the iron curtain. Father Smith, a gifted story-teller, now serves at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.
