- (a) Chaplains far from home in places scattered throughout the world give comfort and solace to Americans wherever they may be found; therefore, it is fitting and proper that America's and Illinois' Chaplains be officially recognized for their valuable and inspiring services.
- (b) The first Sunday in May of each year is designated Chaplain's Day to be observed throughout the State as a day set apart in the honor and remembrance of Chaplains.
