'A Colony of Heaven'

During a walk through the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl Crater many months ago, I came across this dedication plaque.

I’m glad that I saw it early in my excursion, for it set the tone for my day.

I wonder who the 6^th Marine Division chaplain was who spoke these meaningful words on Okinawa in 1945. His sentiments echo through Punchbowl and drew me close.
