Church gives hero’s welcome to hurt soldier
UNION TWP. – It was an ovation befitting a king, the church erupting for more than a minute as Staff Sgt. Paul Brondhaver limped to the podium. The noise didn’t stop until the injured soldier cut it off like a maestro.
And it became a receiving line befitting a hero, as the scores of soldiers from past and present filed toward Brondhaver, saluted him and hugged him as a bagpipe played “Amazing Grace.”
