As we lead up to our observance of Veterans Day on Nov. 11, we had a conversation with two of our diocesan retired priests who also served as military chaplains. Msgr. Ken Seifried, Manson native, served as a U.S. Army chaplain and Father Francis Higgins, Fonda native, served as a chaplain for the U.S. Air Force. They share their vocation stories and why they wanted to serve as priest-chaplains. We thank these men for both their service as priests and their military service.
