THE STORY OF FOUR CHAPLAINS In the icy dawn of February 3, 1943, the S.S, Dorchester, an old ship, hastily pressed into service as a troop transport, was pusing through North Atlantic waters with 900 American servicemen aboard bound for Greenland. She was close enough to her destination that her convoy had left her. But, she did not make it. A Nazi submarine had been stalking her undetected and now, with the convoy gone, sent a torpedo slithering through the murky waters straight for the old ship’s flank. The deadly missile struck admidships and exploded in the boiler room. Many died instantly. Others were trapped below deck. Jolted from their bunks, sleepy soldiers and sailors clambered to reach the decks on the stricken ship. On deck, amid the confusion and terror, four U.S. Army Chaplains were moving about calming frightened men, directing bewildered soldiers to lifeboats, and distributing life jackets with calm precision. The supply of lifejackets was soon exhausted, but four young soldiers stood waiting. They were afraid and they had no lifejackets. Quickly the Chaplains stripped off their own and forced them upon the young soldiers. The four men of God had given away their only means of saving themselves in order to save others. What is especially beautiful about this epic of heroism is the fact that these Chaplains were of different faiths. Clark C, Poling and George E. Fox were Protestant Ministers. John P. Washing was a Roman Catholic Priest, and Alexander D. Goode was a Jewish Rabbi. Yet, in that moment of decision none of them paused to ask the young soldiers, "Are you a Protestant?", Are You a Catholic?", "Are you a Jew?". It did not matter.

fellow men. Men rowing away from the stricken ship in lifeboats saw the I four chaplains clinging to each ’ other on the slanting deck. Their ' arms were linked together and i their heads were bowed. They ' were praying to the one God whom each of them loved and served; the God and Father of all mankind. The S.S. Dorchester sank beneath the icy waters of the North Atlantic, carrying with it the four chaplains and some 600 soldiers and sailors. Poet, Joseph Auslander, tells the rest of the story. Four Men of God Four men of God put out to sea; (Washington, Poling, Fox and Goode) Their God was one, though their faiths were three; And the men who worshipped their God were free Where the Cross and the Star together stood. Four men of God went down to sea. (Washington, Poling. Fox and Goode) Bound by a passion for Liberty And a burning Faith that keeps men free In a bond of human brotherhood. In memory and respect of the Four Men of God, a special slide and narration presentation will be shown at the regular meeting of Orville Easterday Unit 189, American Legion Auxiliary, February 4, 1993, 7:30 p.m. at the Post Home.
