Memorial Day 2021with Chaplains Rear Adm Harold Robinson, Capt Jack Lea on #SALRadio

Rabbi. Rear Admiral Harold Robinson US Navy ret and Captain Jack Lea USN discuss Memorial Day 2021 and the project to update the Chaplains Hill Monuments at Arlington National Cemetery.

Adm Robinson is past chairman of National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces, and Chair of their Chaplains Hill Committee. Captain Lea is Executive Director of the NCMAF.

The "Chaplains Memorial Preservation Act" was just introduced in the US Senate on May 26th, by Senators Raphael Warnock of Georgia and John Boozman of Arkansas to support the project.

The project proposes to add 25 names of chaplains who died in service during Korean War, Vietnam, Cold War and Post 9-11 conflicts, add one name to Catholic Chaplains monument, and donate a new granite upright to the Protestant Monument replacing an aging concrete piece. The project would entirely be paid for project participants and involve no cost to the governement.

The discussion with Ken Kraetzer of Sons of the American Legion Radio covers the history of chaplains serving the US Military, the service chaplains continue to perform today, and the project to update Chaplains Hill.

Supporters of this project are asked to call their Members of Congress and ask they cosponsor the legislation.
