This Friday is the 69th anniversary of the loss of four military men of faith and 672 other service members.  On February 3, 1943, the U.S.A.T. DORCHESTER was tragically sunk.  Of the 902 young men on board, only 230 survived.  Many of those survivors  owe their lives to the  courage and leadership exhibited by the heroic Four Chaplains, who, in  sacrificing their lives, created a unique legacy of brotherhood.

Please send any photos and written experiences from your event to Jennifer Day at baa.jday@gmail.com after your event so that we can include them in our Newsletter.  Thank you!

Promote service, serve often and fly the flag!
