Eventually he found his ardent pacificism giving way to a conviction that the Allied cause was just, and he ended up the war as an Army sergeant on Iwo Jima. After the war, Benedict was one of the founders of Manhattan's now famous East Harlem Protestant Parish, spent six years establishing mission churches in Cleveland slums before he was called to Chicago...

The Religious Hospitalers of St. Joseph from Montreal, who last year used the rocket theme in urging girls to "get into orbit with Christ," this time settled...

The most famous photograph of World War II was Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize picture of six marines planting the Stars and Stripes on the summit of Mount Suribachi, the highest point on Iwo Jima.
