National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569773 / Local Identifier 111-TV-538 Big Picture: The Army Chaplain: Yesterday and Today DVD Copied by Liz Pruszko - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). Our first Army Chaplains were New England preachers who went to war with the men of their parish to help create a free nation under God. Since then the Army Chaplain has been a source of spiritual comfort and moral guidance to soldiers in all our wars, winning the nation's respect for service, often beyond the call of duty. Today he serves an ever-widening congregation - servicemen and their families in the United States and throughout the world. His role as a spiritual leader in past and modern wars is the subject of today's THE BIG PICTURE.
