US Army Chaplain (Capt) Richard Hill is among a small group of Chaplains serving the needs of hundreds of troops at his base in Iraq.  The impact his service has had on the spiritual well-being of troops in Iraq has been visible:

“It has been very rewarding to see the lives of the military touched by God,” he says, especially since they are under no compulsion to attend church or avail themselves of the services of a chaplain…

“We even had some Marines join the choir just because they liked to sing. As a result, they gave their lives to Christ because they discovered the true Christ in the lives of the others.”

US military men and women are permitted to practice their religious faiths, and to seek Christ, even while in the combat theatre.  The Chaplains serve to protect that freedom for all military members.
