By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.1 John 3:16
Mildred O’Connell, a U.S. Army combat nurse, fell in love with Martin Molnar, an Army Air Corps pilot who flew more than 250 combat missions during World War II. The two became engaged in 1942, but both were called into service before they could be married. They didn’t see each other for two years, but they exchanged more than 4,000 pages of letters. After the war ended, they married. Their son, Ken Molnar, is planning a book based on their letters, which demonstrate the tenacious nature of genuine love.1
