Emil Joseph Kapaun (April 20, 1916 – May 23, 1951) was a Roman Catholic priest and United States Army chaplain who died as a prisoner of war in the Korean War. For his wartime activities, the Roman Catholic Church has declared him a Servant of God, the first stage on the path to sainthood. On April 11, 2013, President Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor posthumously to Captain Chaplain Kapaun for his actions on November 1–2, 1950 in Korea. He is the ninth American military chaplain Medal of Honor recipient.

His great niece was a squadron mate of mine. She actually got the opportunity to attend the MOH ceremony, and along with her family, receive the Medal. Father Kapaun's legacy is a great one. One of the biggest Catholic schools in Wichita is named after him.
