Saint Michael Medals Are Very Popular
ANF has sent 75,000 free medals of Saint Michael the Archangel to its members and 20,000 to U.S. troops. Generous ANF members sponsored the medals for the troops, to which they added prayer cards with personal notes of encouragement.
Ten thousands medals went to Iraq. In return, we received this message from the Catholic chaplains there:
On behalf of the Catholic community of our base here in Iraq, I would like to thank you for the above subject. St. Michael is the patron saint of the American armed forces service members. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. These medals are now on a table in the foyer of our main chapel for all, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, to avail of. Eventually, it will be in all the military chapels in Iraq. God bless you!
While giving thousands of medals to soldiers at Fort Benning, Georgia, we were moved by their reverent gratitude and expressions of “wow” and “awesome.”
One soldier said, “I will put it on my gun.” Another said to his buddies: “Get over here, guys. This is a St. Michael medal. I was teaching them the Saint Michael prayer.”
Saint Michael Medals are available free to our troops by calling 888-317-5571.
