It's not exactly the city beat, but I'm pleased that the DoD plans to honor Father Emil Kapaun with the Medal of Honor. I was stationed at Kapaun Barracks in Vogelweg (outside Kaiserslautern) and learned Father Kapaun's story from the command chaplain (32nd AADCOM at the time).
Bravery beyond the call of duty, perseverance and motivation are three characteristics of his behavior while a prisoner of war in Korea. He was a credit not just to the Chaplain Corps, but to his country.
