Good on you FRiend, you get it. In my home town of Kearny , NJ is a Catholic church, St. Stephens Church. It's located on the Corner of Kearny and Washington Avenues. In the rear of the church in a shrine dedicated to The Four Chaplains. Are you familiar with that story? Fr. Washington was born in Newark , NJ and was assigned to St. Stephens. Washington Ave. was named in his honor. The story of the Four Chaplains is a harrowing and very moving story.

Never heard of it, but just looked it up. Thanks for sharing that one. Brave, self-sacrificing men.
