Buell Dolan liberated Rome in 1944 with the Allied Expeditionary Forces.
Now, over 90-years of age, he lives in South Dakota with his large Catholic family.
Buell was received into the Catholic Church inside St. Peter's Basilica just after the liberation of the City and he remains a faithful Catholic to this day.
Buell's family has asked for prayers as he is currently in hospice treatment.
Let us pray!
John,

Can you confirm a rumour left by a commentator on the blog Rorate Caeli, to the effect that the Tiara had recently been removed from the Pope's Arms to be replaced once more with the Mitre?
And if this proves to be so, can you speculate on what it might signify?
