Celebration of the 179th Anniversary of the
Establishment of the Chaplaincy
UNITED STATES ARMY
THE CHIEF OF STAFF To the Chaplains of the United States Army:
The occasion of the 179th anniversary of the day upon which Chaplains were authorized as part of the Army affords me a welcome opportunity to extend congratulations on behalf of all your fellow soldiers. The Chaplains of the United States Army have compiled a splendid record of selfless devotion to duty in war and in peace, in garrison and overseas. The spiritual and character guidance which you and your predecessors have unfailingly provided, the morale and welfare work which you have carried out, have contributed ,materially to the well-being and effectiveness of the Army. Both as soldiers and as men of God, you have performed great service.
Whatever trials may lie ahead, US Army Chaplains honored. The Chief of Army. Chaplains, Major General Patrick J. the men and women of the Ryan, left, Major General John H. Stokes, Jr., Commanding General, Military District of Army, your fellow soldiers, know
