SUBJ/CHAPLAIN CORPS 229TH ANNIVERSARY//
RMKS/1.  28 NOVEMBER 2004 MARKS THE 229TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED
STATES NAVY CHAPLAIN CORPS.  ON THIS PROUD OCCASION, I THANK ALL OUR
CHAPLAINS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR NAVY/MARINE
CORPS TEAM AND WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  DURING THIS PAST YEAR OUR
NATION HAS WITNESSED BOTH CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS.  AS WE FIGHT THE
GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM, NAVY CHAPLAINS ENGAGE IN MINISTRY TO ALL
SEA SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THEIR FAMILIES.  YOU PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL
PASTORAL CARE, PROMOTE FAMILY READINESS, AND ARE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRITUALLY FIT SEA WARRIORS.  YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED
TO SERVE THROUGH ASSISTANCE, COUNSEL AND LEADERSHIP, AND YOU HAVE
ANSWERED THE CALL WITH UNWAVERING DEDICATION AND COMPASSION.  MY
SINCEREST WISHES FOR A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS
ALL THAT YOU DO.
