Naval Chaplains Anniversary Banquet

RADM Greg Horn

Last Friday evening I attended the Naval Chaplains Anniversary Banquet at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. I was invited by Capt. James Puttler, Navy Region Northwest Region Chaplain. It was an impressive formal dinner with a Marine color guard, a Navy jazz ensemble, and lots of brass present in formal dress.

The speaker was Rear Admiral Greg Horn, Deputy Chief of Chaplains for Reserve Matters. He gave an energetic speech emphasizing the "ministry of presence" that chaplains offer the marines and sailors in their care. It was eye-opening for me to be there and experience Navy culture. Below is a still photo from the video that Adm. Horn showed, portraying the chaplains' "ministry of presence."
