Four Chaplins Service at United Church of Spring Valley

The Rockland County American Legion will hold its annual interfaith Four Chaplains Service at United Church of Spring Valley on Sunday, February 5, 2012, beginning at 10:00 A.M.  The church is located at 11 East Church Street in Spring Valley.  The service commemorates the sacrifice made by four United States Army Chaplains - a Roman Catholic priest, a rabbi, a Reformed Church in America minister and a Methodist minister - and the other 672 men who lost their lives during World War II when their transport ship, the Dorchester, was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat.  The chaplains all gave up their own life jackets to save four soldiers.
