Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis f JE they met them at the main gate and directed them to the refreshment tent where the Hostess, the ladies of the Post and members of the Girl Scouts were serving coffee, lemonade and sandwiches. ' A church parade was held every Sunday morning and was led by the CMT Camp Commander and his staff. In order to obviate the necessity of more than one parade all religious services were held at the same hour. The Protestant services were held in the Liberty Theater, the Catholic services in the Post Chapel and the Jewish services in the Catholic Sunday School Building. In addition services were held every Sunday and Wednesday evening for the Protestants, Confessions for the Catholics were heard Saturday evening and Sunday morning and an early Sunday Mass was said for those desiring to receive Holy Communion. In addition to the two Regular Army Chaplains fourteen Reserve Corps Chaplains served for a period 'of two weeks at different times during the camp. These Chaplains assisted the Regular Army Chaplains in all the services both of religious and welfare nature. At least one Chaplain was assigned to each company and was charged with the care and welfare of the men of that organization. He visited the men who went to hospital and maintained contact between them and their folks at home. July 30, Mother,s Day, brought a host of relatives to the camp. The chaplains met all incoming trains and furnished sufficient transportation to convey the visitors to the Post. The CMTC Recreation Hall was the headquarters for the visitors. There they met and visited with their sons or wards. Through the courtesy of the two Coast Artillery regiments at the Post sufficient transportation was at the disposal of the chaplains to meet all in-coming and out-going trains and boats both on Mother,s Day and the following day, for some relatives ar- rived late and many stayed at the Hostess House over night. Before we close, one word of sincere appreciation and thanks to the members of the regular garrison, both ladies and gentlemen, who so cheerfully contributed their time and talents to enhance and enrich the religious services.
