About our Speaker:

Chaplain Tom Solhjem retired as the United States Army’s 25th Chief of Chaplains in August 2023, culminating a 49-year career providing religious support to the soldiers, families, and civilians of the U.S. Army. His assignments included Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces, and Elite Units with over 68 months in active combat zones including Operation Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. His heroic exploits in combat as a chaplain are captured in the film “The Fighting Spirit,” and he and his wife are featured in the film “Overcoming Through Adversity,” a story of many families growing stronger through difficult times.

Tom never shrank back from difficult assignments or challenges in order to do ministry where God opens doors. He is a highly decorated and dedicated servant who has served with some of the most elite units in our nation’s military, sharing their demands and hardships. He has served in positions of tremendous leadership, advising senior Army leadership of major commands and in the Pentagon, championing religious liberty and free exercise of religion, while promoting spiritual life, faith and belief as critical components of readiness in the military. Tom is married to Jill and they have four children. He is a North Dakota native who now resides in southern Virginia.
