In a pair of firsts, two National Guard chaplains are the first women to serve as state chaplains in their respective states and the country.

Lt. Col. Martha Kester will serve the Iowa National Guard, and Lt. Col. Heather Simon will serve the New Jersey National Guard. Both women started their assignments Oct. 1, according to an Army news release.

Their service will be invaluable to their states and the country, said Col. Laurence Bazer, a chaplain who serves as deputy director of the National Guard Bureau Office of the Joint Chaplains.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
