Oregon National Guard Religious Support Teams

Today we remember the ultimate sacrifice made by the Four Chaplains.

On February 3, 1943, Chaplains George Fox, Alexander Goode, Clark Poling, and John Washington gave their lives aboard the USAT Dorchester, sacrificing their own life jackets so others could live. These brave Soldiers lived and served by the truth of Psalm 23: even “through the valley of the shadow of death,” they feared no evil, trusting in God’s presence with them. In observing Four Chaplains Day, Chaplains, Religious Affairs Specialists, DREs, and all who serve in the Army Chaplain Corps continue to be inspired by the legacy of the Four Chaplains.

We’re looking for ministry-minded men and women to serve God and Country as chaplains in the Oregon National Guard. Today, we’re at Pacific Northwest Christian College in the Tri-Cities. Caring for the SOULs—and caring for The soul—of the Oregon Guard!

It was a blessing to have our ORNG Religious Support Teams (and some guests from the Navy!) together last week for our annual Chaplain Corps training event. Our Main Effort for the ORNG is People and Culture—in the Chaplain Corps, caring for souls and caring for the soul of the ORNG is who we are and what we do!
