Wayne Shepherd reads excerpts from Serving God and Country, United States Military Chaplains in World War II.   (click for more)   

In World War II, over 12,000 Protestant ministers, Catholic priests, and Jewish rabbis left the safety of home to join the Chaplain Corps, following the armed forces into battle across Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the high seas.

With author Lyle Dorsett's permission, this week we feature selected readings from this book. These are the personal stories of some of the bravest and most selfless men who served with the armed forces. Many lost their lives or suffered debilitating wounds while serving as pastors to the troops.
