Catholic and Enjoying It!
The Christophers announced two special awards that will be given at the annual ceremony on Thursday, May 19th in New York.
Capt. Scotty Smiley will receive the 2011 Christopher Leadership Award. Capt. Smiley, who was nearly killed while leading his platoon on patrol in Iraq in 2005, is the U.S. Army’s first blind active-duty officer. He opted not to retire from the Army, as is customary after a life-changing injury.
The Christophers is honoring 21 year old Shannon Hickey with the 2011 James Keller Award. At age 11, Hickey was inspired to help provide for the poor and homeless by the example of Father Mychal Judge, the New York City Fire Dept. Chaplain killed in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks.
