Army chaplain killed in action, first since 1970

Military chaplains exhibit a different kind of bravery. They serve on the front lines, under fire, and are on hand to offer counsel to troops--and they're unarmed.

Episcopal priest and South Dakota native Capt. Dale Goetz was killed along with four other soldiers by an improvised explosive device earlier this week in Afghanistan.

Rest in peace.
