Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Martha Kester smiles in her uniform and parish dress outside her home in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sept. 30, 2022. Kester, alongside Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Heather Simon, have made history together by becoming the first women to serve as State Chaplains, both in their states and in the country. Kester will serve the Iowa National Guard, while Simon will serve the New Jersey National Guard. When she’s not supporting Soldiers, Kester serves as a rector of a Des Moines Episcopal congregation.
