A description of the Memorial

 This plaque describes the history behind why this memorial was created. It was dedicated on June 1, 2011. 

 

The Memorial Wall with names

 The names of all chaplains who died in service, beginning with the revolutionary war through present day battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. The section from World War II has the most names, by far. 

 

Nurture the Living

 This statue of a chaplain comforting a soldier faces all the names on the Memorial wall. 

 

Milton Haney memorial

 Chaplain Haney received the Congressional Medal of Honor by providing care to soldiers from the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War, at the battle of Atlanta

About the Author

Pastor John Klawiter

I love being the pastor at Faith Lutheran! There is always something new and exciting happening here. I started in 2016 and Faith was the right place for my family to join (my wife Taryn and I have 8 kids). I think ministry is about what God has us doing beyond the walls of the building—but worship is an essential part of our community of believers coming together to support one another, grow in faith, and learn about how God is calling us to be God’s hands, feet, and voice in the world. We have an awesome staff that helps you grow in your ministry—not to do the work for you.

Do you have a prayer concern or Pastoral need? Let us support you!
