From the August 3, 2010, Telegraph.co.uk.
Private Glenn Hockton, 19, of the Coldstream Guards bent down to pick up a rosary after it fell from his neck. In doing so, he realized he was standing on a land mine. He remained on it for 45 minutes while his unit figured out how to get him safely off it. This took place over in the Middle East.
His great-grandfather, Joseph Sunny Truman, also credited a rosary for saving his life in a bomb blast after he was captured in World War II. A member of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, he was being forced to march away from advancing Allied troops when he bent down to pick up something and a bomb went off and he was the only one to survive. That something turned out to be a rosary.
Quite a coincidence.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
