.S. Military chaplains often go above and beyond the call of duty. Take, for example, Father Guy M. Kagere, Ch, Capt, USAF, assigned to Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, TX, now on deployment to Nigerien Air Base 201 in Agadez in the Republic of Niger. When Father Kagere (pronounced “KAY’-guh-ruh) is not providing pastoral care to Airmen with the 409th Expeditionary Group of the 435th Expeditionary Wing, he delivers school supplies to local orphans and leads an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Discussion Club for Nigerien college students and members of the Forces Armées Nigériennes (FAN)— the Nigerien Armed Forces.
