"Chaplains: Yesterday and Today" - U.S. Army Chaplain Corps REEL History

Anniversary of the founding of the The U.S. Army Chaplain Corps - it is one of the oldest and smallest branches of the Army. The Chaplain Corps dates back to 29 July 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized one chaplain for each regiment of the Continental Army, with pay equaling that of a captain.

The Chaplain Corps of the United States Army consists of ordained clergy of multiple faiths who are commissioned Army officers serving as military chaplains as well as enlisted soldiers who serve as assistants. Branch of Service Color is Black and the Motto: "Pro Deo et Patria"; (Latin: For God and Country).

In this episode of the 1950s "The Big Picture" we review the heroic and inspiring work of the Army Chaplain, especially the Chaplains who have served so gallantly with our fighting troops. The soldier looks to this clergyman in uniform as a friend and counselor, as well as a spiritual leader.

"REEL HISTORY" - is a new series featured only on this channel to bring back to life (and hopefully to a new audience), original military history films produced during the 20th century... covering topics from all conflicts and branches of the U.S. Military.
