Today’s chaplains are military professionals specially trained to serve any spiritual need, for military personnel and their families, regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, or gender. Nearly 3,000 chaplains from the Army, Navy, and Air Force served in Vietnam, each chaplain with a vastly different experience of the war.

I have identified by name and city of residence 4 members of the Massachusetts militia in the Minutemen category who were Black. The next part of my research about Black men of Revolutionary War Era Massachusetts is to compile a list of men who were part of city and town militia companies, men who were enlisted or drafted into the Continental Army regiments, and Black men who were crew on Massachusetts privateer ships .
Are there any others working on identifying Black or Indigenous Americans who are Revolutionary War veterans?

As Memorial Day comes around, it's good to remember what the day is really about. It’s not just the start of summer or a time for big sales. This is a day to honor the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices are why we get to enjoy so many freedoms every day.
So, how can we keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our everyday lives? It can be as simple as taking a quiet moment to think about those who gave their lives, doing something to help someone in need, or just saying thanks to someone who’s served. These little things mean a lot and help us keep their memories alive.
Memorial Day also encourages us to be like those we're remembering—selfless and brave. We can do that by helping out in our community, standing up for what's right or making a move for our future that we were afraid to do. By living out these values, we honor their legacy and make a positive difference just like they did.
Have a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day!
