It is a great day for America and the democratic principles we’ve sworn to defend as service members. The Department of Defense has recently established the first Hindu Military Chaplain program in American history. Army Captain Pratima Dharm, who currently works as a Chaplain Clinician at Walter Reed Medical Center Hospital, took on her new role as the Army’s first Hindu Chaplain as of May 16.
It is an honor to take on this incredible role supporting military members and their families serving in our Nation’s Armed forces,” says Chaplain Dharm, who holds degrees in Psychology and Theology.
