Prayer book saves life of marine on Guam invasion
Marine Captain Steve A. Danko of Bethlehem Pennsylvania said a prayer book kept in his pocket protected him on Guam. He recounted how the book shifted from his breast to his trousers to prevent slips as he moved under Japanese fire. A mortar shell later tore into his legs and arms, but the prayer book protected the apostle’s medal inside and shrapnel pierced the pages.
