Emil Kapaun at the age of 6 on his family's small farm in Pilsen, Kan. Kapaun's lifelong dream was to become a priest, which he did in 1940. A few years after his ordination, he felt a calling to serve as a U.S. Army chaplain after serving in an auxiliary capacity at an Army air base near his hometown. (Photo courtesy the Rev. John Hotze)
