Father Joseph M. Fleury, the Nation's Oldest Active-Duty Military Chaplain

Catholic Military Life

Meet Father Joseph M. Fleury, CH (COL), USA. At 69, he is the oldest active-duty chaplain in the U.S. Military. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Father Fleury traces his extraordinary 32-year career in the Army, recapping tours in Korea, Panama and elsewhere, and he shares how his 2005 deployment to war-torn Afghanistan has so far been the most meaningful of his long period of service to those who serve, which, by the way, has just been extended another two years.
