The Four Chaplians Memorial Foundation
May we pause for a brief moment of silence in remembrance to the four chaplains of the U.S.A.T. Dorchester who gave their lives on this date in 1943.
The Reverend Daniel Poling, in honor of his son Chaplain Poling’s heroism, began the movement to celebrate the Four Chaplains acts of courage. The organization was dedicated on February 3, 1951 by President Harry S. Truman. In his dedication speech, the President said, “This interfaith shrine… will stand through long generations to teach Americans that as men can die heroically as brothers so should they live together in mutual faith and goodwill.”
