Military Religious Support Mission
Honor the dead.
Our Nation reveres those who have died in military service. RS honors

emphasis the American people place on the worth and value of the
individual. Chaplains conduct these services and ceremonies, fulfilling

paid the ultimate price serving the Nation in the defense of freedom.
