Four Chaplains Memorial Service

It is a privilege to have this opportunity to share in this interfaith remembrance of the Four Chaplains. Sadly in our day history is not studied as it ought to be, both to learn from the successes and mistakes of the past and also to remember and honor those who went before in whose legacy we live.

As you know I am a Vietnam Veteran having served as an Air Intelligence Officer at Tan Son Nhut airbase in Saigon with duty in IV Corps on the beautiful delta of the Mekong River. Thus I have a sense of the exuberance and the anxiety of military service as well as the practical realities and spiritual wonderings that come with such service.
