Definition
The plural form of chaplain; multiple religious officials serving in institutions like hospitals, schools, or military units.
Etymology
Simply the plural of chaplain, formed by adding -s. Chaplain itself comes from Old French and Latin, tracing to the cloak of Saint Martin.
Kelly Says
Military chaplains have an incredible history—they've served on the front lines for centuries, providing spiritual comfort during humanity's darkest moments while remaining unarmed and dedicated to all soldiers regardless of their faith.
