    A U.S. Army soldier, identifiable by ACU (Army Combat Uniform) and name tape reading 'NICHOLAS' with a rank insignia visible, is lighting or tending candles on an Advent wreath. The setting appears to be a makeshift military chapel with plywood walls, suggesting a forward operating base or deployed location. The soldier is conducting or preparing for an Advent religious service, holding papers that likely contain liturgical text.

    Maj. William "Chip" Nicholas, 3rd BCT's chaplain, who hails from Orlando, Fla., the chaplain for 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, lights the Advent Wreath at a new chapel on Forward Operating Base War Eagle on Dec. 24. After nearly seven months of holding religious services in conference rooms, the Strikers of 3rd BCT, 4th Inf. Div., christened their new chapel with a Christmas Eve candlelight service.
