Emil Senger Post 10, The American Legion is sponsoring a Four Chaplains Memorial Service to be held on Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. at St. Margaret Mary Church located at 50 Donovan Lane, Shelton.
This service marks the selfless sacrifice made by four Army chaplains aboard the USAT Dorchester on Feb. 3, 1943.
Without regard for their own safety and lives, they gave away their life jackets and went down with the ship. The sinking was one of the greatest losses of life at sea during World War II.
There will be light refreshments served in the church hall after the service.
Questions or comments can be directed to Commander Mike Kearney at 203 – 888-7813.
