4 CHAPLAINS MEMORIAL SERVICE
There will be a memorial service at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 2, at the First Congregational United Church of Christ (2900 Ninth Avenue South). For more information about the service, call Carol Gruwell at 406-899-0438, or Post Adjutant Kim Kay McCarty at 701-260-2833. The four chaplains were on an Army transport ship, the Dorchester, during WWII. On February 3rd 1943, their ship was hit by German torpedoes, causing a panic for the nearly 900 passengers on board. The four chaplains - John Washington, Alexander Goode, George Fox, and Clarke Poling - jumped into action, saving as many passengers as they could before the ship completely submerged into freezing cold waters 25 minutes later and ending the lives of the four brave chaplains.
