U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth hosted the first-ever Pentagon Christmas worship service on Wednesday. Many gathered here in the center courtyard to sing songs of praise led by top Christian music artists and hear a powerful message of hope from Franklin Graham. U.S. Navy Admiral and Chaplain Carey Cash kicked off the event by talking about "the greatest rescue operation of all time... the coming of Jesus into this world!" "The scripture says that, 'In Him was life, and that life was the light of the world,'" Cash continued. "We celebrate that light today."
