Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain's Journey

Going into battle without a weapon may seem unimaginable, yet this is reality for combat chaplains accompanying soldiers into conflict. Throughout every American war, these leaders have stood alongside our nation's troops, offering hope in their darkest hours. Regardless of their faith—be it Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, or otherwise—combat chaplains serve as pillars of strength for soldiers of all beliefs. Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain’s Journey follows a former Army chaplain embarking on a unique journey inspired by the extraordinary, often untold stories of the chaplain heroes who came before him. From a U.S. Army Ranger who later became a chaplain and was immortalized in the blockbuster movie Black Hawk Down, to the four chaplains who sacrificed their lives aboard the U.S.S. Dorchester during World War II, to the remarkable story of a chaplain whose remains were recently returned home after 70 years, this film honors unsung heroes who bring courage and comfort to the front lines.
