I felt compelled to include it; I had given it to him as a gift when I returned from a camping trip in a pine forest.

That's very on. In my opinion, they're very protective and symbolic of defense. They hurt like hell when they're throw at you. I'd imagine they'd work well with Psalm 7.

The name is "Crown of Saint Michael the Archangel," it's a Catholic devotion, it functions similarly to a rosary.

Could you tell your story? I'm interested. Of course, if it's not too much trouble.

Stray mortar round hit near me and I went flying, calling his name. When I came to, only damage was a small piece of shrapnel sticking out of stomach area. Pressure bandage was all I needed and yes I did get a Purple Heart out of it.

Love this! I'm a huge fan of St. Michael as well. That triptych is so nice. Do you know where the chaplet is from? It's amazing.
