Celebrating a Legacy: U.S. Army Chaplain Corps

Officially authorized for Continental Army regiments on July 29, 1775, the United States Army Chaplain Corps marks their 250th anniversary this year – to the day! Celebrate and explore the legacy of one of the smallest and oldest branches of the U.S. Army with a reception, followed by a screening of the acclaimed 2023 documentary “Three Chaplains.”

Afterward, join us for a panel conversation with Army chaplains based in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.

You can catch “Three Chaplains” on Kansas City PBS prior to the program on July 25 at 9:30 p.m. and July 27 at 4 p.m.
