Some Context for the News

If you listen to NPR's Morning Edition, you may have heard the story this morning about Eric Lueken, a Marine from Dubois, Indiana, who was killed in Iraq. Dubois is only about 15 minutes away from the monastery, so he's a local guy. In fact, when his father is interviewed, he said that he dropped Eric off for the Marine Corps bus in Ferdinand. The whole county has flags at half-mast in his honor.
