Cwiklinski, chaplain for Headquarters and Service Battalion, 1st Force
Service Support Group, carried the crucifix shown here inside of his
body armor during the Baghdad invasion last year. Some Marines and
sailors possess symbols of faith for good luck or good fortune, while
others use charms and symbols as a point of contact to activate their
faith in God to protect them in times of trouble. Cwiklinski is a
50-year-old native of Buffalo, N.Y.
