Subject: We have a new saint!

Don't recall the name, but he was a monk credited with rallying European forces and repelling the muslim invasion of 1683 (that time period that people for reasons unknown think was lacking in muslim violence). He also invented Capuccinno. I'm not quite sure which achievement qualified him for sainthood. I nominate him for patron saint of the Night Operations, in view of his connections with military affairs and caffeine.

That would have been at Vienna, wouldn't it? The Ottomans lead by Sulimein, and IIRC, were stopped by the timely arrival of Polish cavalry.
