The USCCB just voted, minutes ago as I write this, to advance the cause for canonization of Leonard LaRue. He has one of the most amazing stories you've probably never heard. LaRue was the captain of a ship during the Korean war, the SS Meredith Victory. In late December, the city of Hungnam was to serve as an evacuation point for the troops fighting for South Korea. Some 100,000. Tens of thousands of civilians turned up hoping to be evacuated as well.
