                                      The duties of the Chaplain are to pronounce the invocation and the benediction at Auxiliary meetings, as well as perform such other acts as would fall within the realm of her office as the spiritual leader.  She should conduct the memorial service when such is needed.  As the Auxiliary is composed of women of different creeds and faiths, she must be a woman of tolerance and sympathy toward all.

                                      I AM THE FLAG
                                      By: Lawrence M. Jones

                                      I am a composite being of all the people of America.
                                      I am the union if you are united.
                                      I am one and indivisible if you are undivided.
                                      I am as strong as the weakest link.
                                      I am an emblem of your country.
                                      I am a symbol of the shadow of the real.
                                      I am a sign pointing to past achievments.
                                      I am a promise of greater things for the future.
                                      I am what you make me.
                                      I am purity if you are pure.
                                      I am bravery if you are brave.
                                      I am loyalty if you are loyal.

                                      I am honor if you are honorable.
                                      I am goodness if you are good.
                                      I am hope if you are hopeful.
                                      I am truth if you are true.

                                      I am the Constitution.
                                      I am law and order.
                                      I am tolerance or intolerance as you force me to be.
                                      I am liberty as you understand liberty.
                                      I am as a pillar of fire by night,
                                      but you must provide the fuel.

                                      I march at the head of the column,
                                      but you must carry me on.

                                      I stand for greater and more glorious
                                      achievement than can be found in recorded
                                      history, but you must be my inspiration.

                                      I AM THE FLAG
