Chaplain Serves at the Bottom of the World
An interesting article highlights Air Force Chaplain (Maj) Pete Drury as he served at McMurdo, Antarctica. Chaplain Drury had an interesting statement on his ability to serve all of the 850 residents of the remote outpost:
“One of the cool things that an ANG chaplain can provide is that we understand and can accommodate the secular person and the person who has a non-religious spirituality,” Drury said, with a characteristically broad smile. “Because a non-religious person still has spiritual needs. We have a unique capacity to provide that.”
Other stories have covered the chaplains who have deployed there previously. It was also interesting to note the “deliveries” the Air Force made to the South Pole.
As an interesting side note, Chaplain Drury hails from the 180th FW, the same wing as Col Florencio Marquinez.
