Beloved Father Doyle ~ Your love and kindness will live forever in my heart.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Photographer and WWII soldier Tony Vaccaro quoted from article dated Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 2021:

"It reminds me of the tragedy of mankind. He's not a German. He's a human being."

"We just must stop using 'I'm Italian. I'm French. I'm Spanish. I'm German.' That's what makes us enemies of each other. We're all humans. In Spain. In Germany. It's a terrible mistake that man has made. We are humans. And nothing else."

Father James J. Doyle
1909 - 2001

Eventually to become, "Monsignor James J. Doyle" Chaplain aboard the U.S.S. Hancock.

Famous photographer G. Paul Bishop noted the following about the brave young Chaplain James J. Doyle while he was stationed on the fighter ship the U.S.S. Hancock during World War II:

"My photo station on the U.S.S. Hancock was where the running water was located, so it also became an emergency hospital.

Father Doyle spent a great deal of time there, providing support for the wounded men --- and sometimes delivering them their last rights.

He had the qualities I was seeking in my work. I wanted to show, on film, the extraordinary potential of the human mind.

Many times, Father Doyle sacrificed his own safety to protect someone else.

I once told him that he should be more careful, but he said, "If my Father wants me elsewhere, there's no point in trying to delay it.""

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

But when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

Last verse of the song "Danny Boy" written by Frederic Weatherly in 1910.

A Litany of Remembrance

Poem by Rabbi Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer

"At the rising sun and at its going down, we remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn, we remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make, we remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share, we remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember them.

For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as, we remember them."
