The Inspiring Life of Ben Salmon
Ben Salmon was a devout Catholic and a strong advocate for peace. He firmly believed in the sanctity of life and the power of non-violence, even in the face of war. During World War I, when many were eager to enlist, Salmon bravely refused to bear arms, declaring himself a conscientious objector.
His decision was met with resistance and scorn from those who didn't understand his convictions. Salmon faced ridicule, discrimination, and even imprisonment for his refusal to participate in war. Despite these hardships, his unwavering commitment to peace never faltered.
