Shacklett, pastor of Irvington Baptist Church in Irvington, Ky., serves as a chaplain for the United States Army National Guard's 1/487th field artillery unit in Kuwait.
Although Shacklett was deployed in early January, he and his wife, Ruth Ann, had been preparing for the possibility since last summer.
