Vance also gave a special thanks to the Franciscan monks who held an exceptional service for his family.
I am also grateful to the Franciscan monks who celebrated a private mass for my family and many of the Americans working for peace. They are a great credit to the Christian faith, and they were kind enough to take the time to minister to us at a very special moment.
