Three monuments stand on Arlington National Cemetery’s Chaplains Hill (text).

The oldest, standing in the center and installed in 1926, memorializes by name the 23 Chaplains who lost their lives in “the World War.”

To its left, the second monument, installed in 1989, memorializes by name the Catholic Chaplains who lost their lives in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

The final monument, raised in 1981, memorializes by name the 134 Protestant Chaplains who lost their lives in World Wars I and II.

The absence of a monument to the 13 Jewish Chaplains who lost their lives in World War II, the Cold War, and Vietnam is an “oversight” that Jewish veterans’ organizations have been trying to rectify for some time.

Jews in Green notes the current push to get the required Congressional approval for the additional monument. 

Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) have introduced resolutions in the House of Representatives and the Senate to authorize the memorial.
