Here is video of GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann commemorating "The Four Chaplains" who gave their lives 67 years ago yesterday, February 3, 1943. They were serving on the U.S. Transport Ship Dorchester when it was hit by a Nazi torpedo. The Four Chaplains died because the gave up their own lifevests and gave them to young soldiers so they could live. It is said the Four Chaplains were seen linking arms and praying together as they went down with the ship.

Here is video of singer Wintley Phipps singing their story in the song, "Four Chaplains on the Sea of Glory" . . . (VIDEOS)

There is a memorial to the chaplains in the former Jewish Y in Pittsburgh. I saw it as a child and have never forgotten their story. To see the mural, just click:

Sea of Glory by Father Francis Thornton is a book about the Four Chaplains. I have read it, and I highly recommend it. It is out of print, but readily available and inexpensive. While trying to find a link to that book on amazon, I came across this one-I have not read it, but it's getting excellent reviews:No Greater Glory by Dan Kurzman.
