Summary edit

Description
English: East face of the Catholic Chaplains' Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States.

The first memorial to chaplains serving in the U.S. Armed Forces was dedicated on May 5, 1926. The World War I Chaplains Memorial is dedicated to those military chaplains of all faiths who died serving in that war. A second memorial, the Protestant Chaplains Memorial, was dedicated on October 26, 1981, and honors Protestant Christian military chaplains who died serving in World War I and World War II. A Catholic Chaplains Memorial was dedicated on May 21, 1989, to those Roman Catholic military chaplains who died in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

Chaplains Hill is located in Section 2 of the cemetery. The turf in Section 2 was being replaced, and had been allowed to turn brown.

A Jewish Chaplains Memorial will be dedicated at the same location on October 24, 2011. It honors all Jewish chaplains of the U.S. Armed Forces who have died in all wars.
