Four Chaplains Day

February 3, 2025

Four Chaplains Day is a holiday that honors the memory of four chaplains who sacrificed their own lives to save others during World War II. On February 3, 1943, the USAT Dorchester, a military transport ship, was torpedoed by a German submarine. The four chaplains, who were from different faiths, gave up their own life jackets and helped others onto lifeboats before the ship sank. This day serves as a reminder of their bravery and selflessness and is observed annually on February 3 with memorial services and ceremonies throughout the United States. The four chaplains, who represented different religious denominations, have become a symbol of interfaith unity and courage in the face of adversity.
