By 2016, Solovey had just completed his ninth combat deployment.  Upon re-deployment to Ft. Bragg, he received orders to Italy where he befriended another fantastic & remarkable Chaplain.   Like so many GWOT Soldiers who negotiated multiple combat tours , he did not have the words of thanks for all the previous Chaplains--especially since 9-11 and OEF I to Afghanistan.

Something needed to be done to express that thankfulness & to remind the Chaplains of how much an impact they have on every formation & every Soldier.  "Armed with Prayer since 1775" was the token of thanks.  In 2019, Solovey travelled to the Chaplain School at Ft. Jackson, SC & donated the framed original.
