To Chaplains

You have a great responsibility. People serving in the military have to be ready mentally, physically, and spiritually. That's one-third of it right there. And if that's missing, I see catastrophe. It's a very rigorous responsibility taking care of the spiritual part of it. And actively taking care of it.

--Maj Gen. James J. McMonagle
