The care for soldiers and civilians was exemplified by Saint Martin of Tours. Saint Martin was a soldier during the late 4<SUP>th</SUP> century. He gave his cape (capellanus in Latin) to a poor beggar. It was this capellanus where we get the word Chaplain.Comment

Here is the first AF Chaplain manual. The date for the manual is 1954. The author was a former Army Air Force Chaplain who helped write much of the Army Chaplain doctrine. I also have the 1956 AF Manual. The cover is exactly the same.Last edited by Chap15; 09-28-2008, 06:37 PM.Comment
