During the 2003 "Liberation War on Iraq", Newsweek took a famous picture on:

"Even as they shipped out for battle, American troops found time for spiritual reflection.

First Baptism During Operation Iraqi Freedom!, (With acknowledgement to The Christian Post)
Friday, Mar. 28, 2003 Posted: 10:32:12AM EST from baptism.org.uk
"In the midst of the rising injuries and fatalities from "Operation Iraqi Freedom," a soldier across the Mediterranean gains a new life through the first full-immersion baptism on board the USS Harry S. Truman.
"It is perhaps fitting that this is being done during Operation Iraqi Freedom," said Chaplain Doyle W. Dunn.
The soldier, Avionics Technician 2nd Class Sean Zahornacky, from San Jose, California receives his baptism in a JDAM crate a joint direct attack munitions crate originally used to carry ordinance for destruction.
"This box is designed to bring destruction. Today, we use it to represent creation and newness of life," Dunn said.
Zahornacky, not having been formerly introduced to Christianity, said it was hard for him initially to admit his need for God.
"If I don't see A and B, I don't believe C," the avionics technician said. But, after many months of prayer, asking questions and studying the Bible, he accepted Jesus Christ.
Chaplain Cory Cathcart who, along with Dunn performed the baptism, said, "I really believe that everyone has a God-shaped vacuum inside. Many try to fill it with other things, but in the end, only God will fit your heart."
The lieutenant spends much of his time counseling young 18- and 19-year-olds who are experiencing their first deployment away from home -- amid 5,500 people on the Truman. He matches new believers with older mentors to encourage church attendance and bible studies.
"Baptism is an event that has been celebrated for 2,000 years," said. Dunn, his hand on Zahornacky's shoulder. "It began in the life of Jesus who set the example by being baptized by John the Baptist."
After a few more words and a Scripture reading by Chaplain Cathcart, Dunn and Cathcart prepare to lean the 22-year-old back into the water.
After the young sailor was baptized, he stood; his fellow Christians witnessed his baptism and congratulated him.
"I walk inches off the ground after something like this," Dunn said, smiling broadly. "It is such a joy to see a sailor make such a clear commitment in front of his shipmates."

John the Baptist
"John the Baptist is a story of courage and conviction seen through the life of one of God's greatest prophets who gave everything to prepare the way for the Lord. It begins with the blessing John's birth was to his aged parents. John grows in strength and integrity as he stands against political and spiritual adversity to preach the coming of the Lord. Finally, John beholds and baptizes Jesus, the Lamb of God.
A terrific way to teach a child this story of God's faithfulness. Order now for that special child, family, or friend. "

"Yes. Dual baptism is a must for all Christians who really want to become active, genuine Christians, and not just Christians in name. Today’s Gospel reading tells it all. John the Baptizer himself explicitly said: “I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming . . . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Lk. 3: 15-16). And to show us the way, Jesus Himself asked John to baptize Him with water. After that, he prayed, and the Holy Spirit came to Him...

"(died c 30)[1][2] was a mission preacher[3] and a major religious figure[4] who led a movement of baptism at the Jordan River in expectation of a divine apocalypse that would restore occupied Israel.[5] John followed the example of previous Hebrew prophets, living austerely, challenging sinful rulers, calling for repentance, and promising God's justice.
Some scholars maintain that he was influenced by the Essenes, who were semi-ascetic, expected an apocalypse, and had rituals similar to baptism.[6] John's baptism was a purification rite for repentant sinners, performed in "living water" (in this case a running river) in accord with Jewish custom. John anticipated a messianic figure who would be greater than John himself.[7] Jesus, the central figure of Christianity, was among those whom John baptized. Jesus apparently was a follower of John.[8][9] Herod Antipas saw John as a threat and had him executed.[4] Jesus' own ministry followed John's, and some of Jesus' early followers had previously been followers of John.[10] John, like Jesus, preached at a time of political, social, and religious conflict..."
"AMMAN, JORDAN (ANS) -- An estimated 1,700 persons attended the dedication and opening ceremony and more than 120 people were baptized in the Jordan River at a new Baptism Center on Friday, March 20, by pastors from the Jordan Baptist Convention.
The baptism was the culmination of an afternoon of celebration in which the Baptism Center at Bethany beyond Jordan was dedicated for use by Baptists and other evangelical Christians.
Baptist World Alliance (BWA) General Secretary Neville Callam, who gave the main address, said, "Today, as we assemble by the Jordan… we unite to mark the opening and dedication of this Baptism Center – a place where people from all parts of the world may assemble for a journey and an experience."
The BWA leader expressed the hope that "the waters of the Jordan extinguish the crippling fires of hopelessness that burn in the hearts of those who have no knowledge of God.”"
Also speaking at the dedication ceremony was former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Mr. Blair, who established a faith foundation upon demitting office as British Prime Minister, commended King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein and Prince Ghazi Bin Mohammed for exhibiting courage in the inauguration of the Baptism Center.
The Center joins buildings of other churches, including the Orthodox Church, which have recently been constructed on the official Baptism Site of Jesus Christ.
Mr. Blair stated, "In dedicating this site, let us renew our faith in our God, our Lord, and in His message."
BWA President David Coffey and Fawaz Ameish, Jordan Baptist Convention president and BWA vice president, expressed gratitude to King Abdullah and Prince Ghazi for facilitating the construction and dedication of the center.
The offer of a designated plot of land for the Baptism Center was made by King Abdullah in September 2007 during Coffey’s visit with the Jordan monarch. Prince Ghazi is the chairperson of the Board of Trustees for the baptismal site. The location is closely approximate to the site where it is believed John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
Coffey read greetings from former United States presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both Baptists, and from prominent Baptist pastor from the US, Rick Warren, and presented a gift on the behalf of the BWA to Prince Ghazi.
A plaque was unveiled to be placed on the building upon its completion. The plaque reads, "The Commission of the Site of the Baptism of Jesus Christ welcomes here visiting pilgrims from the member churches of the Baptist World Alliance."
Also participating in the event were Imad Maayah, a Baptist and former Member of Parliament in Jordan, Toma Magda and Tony Peck, president and general secretary of the European Baptist Federation, and Nabeeh Abbassi, former president of the Jordan Baptist Convention and chief organizer of the dedication and opening.
