FORT BRAGG — Devout Catholic and dedicated first sergeant Anthony Lawrence has decided to give up on the soldiers in his company for the 40-day period of Lent this year.
The company commander, Capt. Patrick Donahue, is proud of his enlisted advisor for making such a sacrifice.
“I’m giving up energy drinks and online poker for Lent, but everyone’s vice is different,” says Donahue. “Personally, I don’t give a crap about the joes, but Lawrence does, so this is actually difficult for him.”
