If any of you are veterans or know veterans who might like to share a story of spiritual wisdom or an idea for this event, please email bowie@faithhousemanhattan.org. Bowie got this idea last year watching "The War Tapes" at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Click here for the second half of this article that begins to explore this theme. Bowie's brother, SGT A. Peter Snodgrass has just finished five years as an Army Medic, including two tours in Iraq.
