| Abstract | "American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines love their chaplains. Sometimes they serve as vital links to home, family, and faith; other times, the chaplain buries them after death in battle, at sea, or in a prison camp. Chaplains serve as sounding boards when life goes sour and join celebrations when life goes well. The chaplain is present for them at all times, in all places, in all circumstances. This is the story of the chaplains' mission and tradition in the American armed services, stories of individual chaplains who did their duty to God and to their country."-- Provided by publisher. |
