Pittsburgh Send Off Day 33
Left, right, left, right, our boots rattled the paving flags as we marched along. The Stars and Stripes fluttered bravely, our arms swung as one. Held proudly aloft, a bright red banner proclaimed, "GOD IS LOVE." Our splendid column wended away from Pittsburgh's Trinity Cathedral. A great crowd, led by the Bishop, had waved us off on our "Send-Off" journey. We hoped to cross Ohio, walking twenty miles every day, taking an evening meeting and staying overnight in a Parish Hall. "We must have marched at least eight miles by now!" I told myself. "We must be almost half way there!"
Fools for Christ
Then, turning a corner, like a bombshell it hit us that we were only three blocks from the Cathedral gates! Red faced, and in a shambles we shuffled around and set off again, hopefully in the right direction this time. Puzzled motorists on the main highway gave us disbelieving stares as they drove by. Bothered by this, one cadet waved his peaked cap and shouted, "Yes, folks, we are crazy!" An English Captain bellowed in explanation, "Fools for Christ, Brother!" Onward we tramped, week by week through the towns and cities of Ohio.
