"Saint Robert Heinlein"
"Patron Saint of the Agnostic Soldier"
So with one last word To one last god I trust myself to your care Because, Venus, after all, Your human form is the only one I can honestly say I ever truly worshipped
And that's very Heinleinian, indeed.

Re: "Saint Robert Heinlein"
My thanks, too. My military experience was similar, though I had less evangelicals around me in my time than he did. His poem is outstanding and I wish I'd had that to carry with me when I was serving.
