Command Sergeant Major’s Tribute
Posted by: | Comments
Chaplains must keep on providing ministry for all service members who are fighting in or otherwise contributing to our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. I take great comfort knowing that the chaplains are still in theater watching out for and taking care of our soldiers while assisting soldiers and family members when they come home.
As a Command Sergeant Major in the Army Reserves and a full-time California Highway Patrol Officer, I proudly make a monthlydonation to the Military Chaplain’s Association. I want to sustain the Association’s role in advocating for chaplaincy and supporting chaplains. This is my small part for helping Veterans.
I would urge anyone reading this to please join me in supporting this worthwhile and noble cause. Go to chaplains@mca-usa.org. CSM Michelle M. Fournier, USAR.
