Emily Compagno, co-host of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” has recently released her debut book, Under His Wings: How Faith on the Front Lines Has Protected American Troops. The book explores the profound role of faith in sustaining U.S. soldiers during times of war, sharing personal stories that highlight how belief in God has served as a source of strength, comfort, and courage for military personnel and their families.
In her book, Compagno recounts narratives such as that of Lieutenant Luella Cochran, her great-great-aunt, who served as an anesthetist nurse during World War II. Cochran’s faith provided her with resilience amidst the horrors of war, as she wrote to her mother about attending Communion to offer reassurance. The book also shares the story of Sergeant Gabriel De Roo, nicknamed “John 3:16” by his fellow soldiers, who was killed in Iraq during the Global War on Terror. His deep faith was evident as he expressed a willingness to sacrifice himself, believing others needed more time to find their faith.
Compagno’s exploration of these stories underscores the often-overlooked element of faith in the lives of American troops, illustrating how spiritual beliefs have been integral to their courage and resilience on the front lines. Her book has resonated with many, debuting as a New York Times bestseller.
