KIM LAWTON, guest anchor: In connection with this weekend's opening of the World War II memorial, Washington's National Cathedral has organized a special exhibit called "Faith and Courage." It honors the work of interfaith military chaplains who served during that war. The exhibit includes portable altars, a battlefield communion kit, hymnals, prayer books, photos, and letters. Our guides to the exhibit are Bishop George Packard, head of chaplaincies for the U.S. Episcopal Church and Julie Cooke, director of visitor programs at the Cathedral.

Bishop GEORGE PACKARD (Head of Chaplaincies, U.S. Episcopal Church): For those who serve in the ranks, chaplains have been probably some of the most memorable persons in their unit. Chaplains have got to be ingenious in composing, putting together sanctuaries, altars, places to pray, on the spur of the moment, in a mess tent, on the back of a humvee.

There are a whole list of odd, odd, places where you would get people together for prayer. And so, you gather people who are urgent in their faith, who are worried, depressed -- and most of all afraid -- wherever you can. Sometimes they are being deployed, sometimes they've just been shot, and they're about ready to die. And you have to be ready, self-reliant and be able to scramble and be there with messages of faith and reassurance.
