Capt. Harold B. Bender, deputy division chaplain for the 36th Infantry Division, greets soldiers and fellow parishioners at the Contingency Operating Base Basra Chapel during the Easter service, April 24. Bender is a former Baptist youth and recreational activities minister who lost everything, including his ministry, after a divorce. He enlisted in the Army in 2004 because he said he had nowhere else to turn, and an encounter with a helpful chaplain at his advanced individual training led him to the Chaplain Corps and a new ministry.
