No Atheists In Foxholes

“I have known, served with, and admired Chaplain Pat McLaughlin since we sailed together on his first Navy deployment back in the early 1990’s. He is a truly spiritual man who nevertheless knows how to have a good laugh, to take pleasure in the wonder of daily living life among America’s warriors. Serving in USS PRINCETON (CG-59), he was called “Chaps” by the crew who learned from, frequently leaned on, and genuinely loved him. No Atheists in Foxholes is eloquent in its honesty and clarity. It reflects Chaps McLaughlin’s ability see beyond the chaos of life centered on and in combat to the spiritual heart of the American warrior ethos. He captures this essence untainted by dogma or doctrine, to let it shine through truthfully, sorrowfully, joyously, humanly. This book is a must-experience for anyone interested in looking beyond mere reporting of combat to glimpse the souls of the human experience that is combat.”
