Recommended Posts

The number of military chaplains who have been killed in combat is probably little known by the American public.  Arlington National Cemetery has a special section where such chaplains are buried.  It currently lists 134 Protestant chaplains, 83 Catholic chaplains, 14 Jewish chaplains, and 23 chaplains who ae not listed as to religious background.  This information was obtained from the following website:

NOTES:

*  Under the Geneva Convention military chaplains are not combatants and do not use weapons.

*  I am just one of several SDA chaplains who has served in combat.

*  There are some 81 Protestant and 3 Catholic chaplains who have been killed in combat but have not yet have their names entered in the memorial.
