"Ceremony honors 4 chaplains lost during World War II...After the torpedo hit the ship and it became clear that the ship was sinking, the chaplains tried to calm the men and organize an orderly evacuation. As life jackets were passed out, the supply ran out. The chaplains removed their own life jackets and gave them to others.
After helping as many men as they could into lifeboats, they linked arms and, saying prayers and singing hymns, they went down with the ship."
