SUMMARY:American Legion Post 71 to Honor Four Chaplains of the Dorchester in Cabot Memorial Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Criswell Robinson American Legion Post 71 will host a public memorial ceremony honoring the legendary Four Chaplains who gave their lives in 1943 aboard the U.S.A.T. Dorchester during World War II. \nScreenshot\nThe ceremony will take place Tuesday\, February 11\, at 11 a.m. at the American Legion Post located at 600 North Grant Street in Cabot. The event is open to the public. \nThe Four Chaplains — Father John P. Washington\, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode\, Reverend Clark V. Poling\, and Reverend George L. Fox — are remembered for their extraordinary courage and unity during one of the deadliest maritime disasters of the war. \nOn February 3\, 1943\, the Dorchester was crossing the North Atlantic transporting troops to an American base in Greenland when it was struck by a German U-boat torpedo. The attack claimed the lives of 672 of the 902 passengers and crew aboard. \nAs the ship sank in freezing waters\, survivors recalled the four chaplains calmly directing evacuees\, distributing life jackets\, and offering prayers and comfort. When supplies ran out\, the chaplains reportedly gave their own life jackets to others and remained on deck\, linked in prayer as the ship went down. \nThe chaplains represented four different faith traditions: Washington\, a Catholic priest from New Jersey; Goode\, a Jewish rabbi from Pennsylvania; Poling\, a minister in the Reformed Church in America from New York; and Fox\, a Methodist minister and decorated World War I veteran from Vermont. Their actions created a lasting legacy of selfless service\, unity\, and brotherhood. \nOrganizers say the ceremony honors not only their sacrifice\, but the enduring message of cooperation\, faith\, and courage during times of crisis. \nFor additional information\, residents may visit the post or call 501-203-5715.
