Capt. Harold B. Bender, deputy division chaplain for the 36th Infantry Division, 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. An encounter with a helpful chaplain at his advanced individual training led him to the Chaplain Corps and a new ministry -- and an even stronger relationship with God.
