'Chaps' on deck
___Baptist chaplain Alan Wilmot, known as "Chaps" by the aviators he ministers to, visits with flight deck crewmen on the USS Harry Truman during flight operations. Wilmot is present on the flight deck for each launch. Chaplains are serving in all branches of the United States military during the Iraq war, many on the front lines of battle. These chaplains have requested prayer from Christians for their ministry during this time of stress, and they have issued a call for more ministers to consider the chaplaincy as a vocation.
