Saints at war: Preserving stories
In March 2003, Richard O. Hatch, an attorney and colonel in the U.S. Army, was preparing his unit camped on the Kuwaiti border for war in Iraq.
"I felt impressed to gather all the soldiers and officers in my charge and talk to them about what they were about to undertake, since most of them were serving their initial Army tours and had never experienced combat," he recalled.
The experience of Hatch, a former bishop, is just one of many currently being documented by professors at BYU as part of the Saints at War project.
