World War II Four Chaplains

On Saturday I was at the National Vietnam War Museum in Orlando Florida for The Four Chaplains service. The Young Marines, Orlando Devil Dogs, held a very moving service. Great to see these young kids care so much about the men and women that came before them.

It was the evening of Feb. 2, 1943, and the U.S.A.T. Dorchester was crowded to capacity, carrying 902 service men, merchant seamen and civilian workers.

Through the pandemonium, according to those present, four Army chaplains brought hope in despair and light in darkness. Those chaplains were Lt. George L. Fox, Methodist; Lt. Alexander D. Goode, Jewish; Lt. John P. Washington, Roman Catholic; and Lt. Clark V. Poling, Dutch Reformed.
