What happens when faith meets the frontlines?
In this episode of Story Behind the Stone, we sit down with Patricia Cecil, Specialist Curator of Faith, Religion, and WWI at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City. Patricia takes us behind the scenes of Sacred Service, an extraordinary exhibit that uncovers how chaplains became unlikely healers, helpers, and mental health champions during the Great War.
From 3D scans of rare artifacts to stories of sacrifice and courage, this conversation will change how you think about faith, war, and remembrance.
✨ What you’ll learn:
- How chaplains supported soldiers’ mental health long before PTSD had a name
- The power of small acts of compassion in unimaginable circumstances
- How technology like 3D scanning is helping preserve and share history globally
