Picture
Chaplain Andy Meverden retired December 2014 as the senior chaplain for the Colorado National Guard.  Born in Appleton, Wisconsin, March 10 1954, he grew up in Oconto Falls where he attended St. Anthony’s Elementary and graduated from High School in 1972.  Enlisting in the US Army two weeks after graduating high school in 1972, he began his active military duty military career as a Brazilian language linguist and military language instructor.  He served as a missionary Pastor in Portugal in the '80s and as a US church pastor from 1990 to 2003. The first 14 of his 40-year military career, he served as an enlisted Soldier in Military Intelligence, Psychological Operations and Armor (M60A1 Tank Commander) before commissioning as an Army Reserve chaplain in 1989.  Over the past 26 years as a chaplain, he served in Military Police, Hospital, Aviation, and Special Forces units. He deployed in 2002-2003 to Afghanistan with the Colorado Army National Guard Green Berets.  

​There he established conversational English classes for Afghan High School boys and girls.  He also led humanitarian missions to rescue orphans, widows, and the local ex-patriot community in Kabul, Afghanistan.  "Chaplain Andy," as he is best known, served on 40 casualty notification teams to Colorado Families. He conducted over 500 burials of Colorado veterans since September 11, including the burial of WW2 General Omar Bradley's driver, General Douglas MacArthur’s statistician, and Medal of Honor recipient, Private George T. Sakato.  He is married to Myra, an Air Force Veteran nurse who is currently volunteer chaplain for the Denver Rocky Mountain Submarine Veterans group.  The son of a WW2 Soldier and Italian war bride mother, Chaplain Andy knows the pain and pride of honorable military service during war and peace.  On 1 January 2015 he assumed duties as Director of Chaplaincy for CBAmerica, an association of 1200 churches across America, and as board member of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
