U.S. Army Lt. Col. Robert Brady (center), a military chaplain, bows as fellow chaplains and service members perform a prayer in his honor at Wisconsin’s Fort McCoy on March 22, 2015. The service was the final one led by Lt. Col. Brady, who is retiring in May after 26 years of service as an officer.

On this Palm Sunday, we thank Lt. Col. Robert Brady for his service to our nation and thank God that such fine Americans are willing to step forward and put on our country’s uniform. God bless you, sir!
