Summary edit

Description
English: Looking east at the three Chaplains' Memorials on Chaplains' Hill at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. The three memorials face east to the rising sun. On the rear of the memorial to chaplains of all faiths who died in World War I is the inscription "CHAPLAINS."

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 the 23 military chaplains of all faithes 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. The headstones in the middle ground between the left and middle memorials are in Section 2. The headstones in the middle ground between the right and middle memorials are in Section 7.

The roadway to the right is McClellan Avenue. The roadway crossing left to right and the background is Grant Avenue. The headstones in the distance on the green grass are located in Section 12. The turf in Sections 7 and 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.
