On February 3, 2026 at 1PM at our Mausoleum building, the American Legion will be holding an event to honor the Four Chaplains lost in WWII.

The Four Chaplains were four U.S. Army chaplains—Methodist George Fox, Jewish Rabbi Alexander Goode, Catholic John Washington, and Dutch Reformed Clark Poling—who sacrificed their lives on the troopship USAT Dorchester when it was torpedoed in WWII (Feb. 3, 1943), giving their life jackets to others and praying together as the ship sank, becoming symbols of interfaith unity and selfless courage. They were posthumously awarded the Special Medal for Heroism for their heroic actions, as strict criteria prevented the Medal of Honor
