The MCA Distinguished Service Award was initiated in 1991. Since then, the Chief Chaplains of our five constituent services annually forward nominees. These chaplains are recognized within the MCA’s Joint and inter-agency forum for their “excellence in the practice of chaplaincy and professionalism in ministry.”
The 2008 Distinguished Service Award for an Army Chaplain was Rabbi (MAJ) Shmuel Felzenberg of the 82nd Airborne Division.
