Whether one be religious or not, I think all will agree that the following is one of the finest "confessions of faith" yet made by any man: "A little while ago, see, they brought a buddy down from the top of the ridge. He was full of holes. He had six shirts on him, to help stave off shock. That means that there are five guys up there in the patrol on that ridge with no shirts. It is cold and the night flies are big as bats and they bite like pliers. That casualty will get blood plasma transfusions. Quarts of somebody's blood to save him. To me, that's a miracle I can believe in; more real than the bread and wine sacrament. Shirts and blood, given eagerly, quickly, willingly -- without question. It's things like that, more than any creed or doctrine, that tell me God is Love. You find His holy expression shining through your fellow-man. Now I know how to pray, understandingly." -- George Park, The New York Times
