a story i missed but a young man asked me what the army officer's name was because i am a veteran and he thought i would know.
ed bradley, a few years ago, the story had something to do with the officer praying with his men before their miraculous
survival in a plane crash or something similar. the officer evidently told the story in his church and was called on the carpet by the feds because of the church and state issue. i need to know how to access information on that story, with all the details in the late, great ed bradley's 60 minutes broadcast about the officer and the entire story. please. thanks in advance.

She is looking for help finding the story not starting a debate geezz...
I have never heard that story, but maybe if you contact 60 minutes they may have it! I knnow that you can purchase transcripts of the shows- so they may still have it around somewhere!

What's the question?
A group of individuals choosing to pray together is perfectly allowed under the Constitution.
A senior officer requiring subordinates to join him in prayer is not, because it counts as compelled participation.
That's a pretty simple line to understand.
