'At the Foot of the Cross': Arlington Chaplains Bear a Nation's Gratitude and a Family's Grief

Описание: At Arlington National Cemetery, the honor bestowed upon fallen heroes is carried out with solemn military precision. Within that sacred protocol, chaplains serve a unique dual role: expressing a nation's formal gratitude while offering pastoral comfort to families in their deepest grief.

"I'm not sure that there's been another place that has underscored honor to me more than Arlington National Cemetery," said Captain Andrew Lloyd, an Air Force chaplain and Regent University graduate serving at Arlington. "We stand beside and work with the young men and women in the Honor Guard who are professionally trained to guard that honor. Then we turn around and help articulate it."

Arlington, one of more than 170 national cemeteries, is hallowed ground for America's heroes. With up to 28 military funerals conducted each day across its 640 acres, the emotional weight is constant for the chaplains and their counterparts who serve there.
