Jerry Costello on the Sacrifice of the Four Chaplains

“It’s been 70 long years since the Four Chaplains made their immortal sacrifice in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and it will be 70 more years--and then some--before their heroic act is even in danger of being forgotten. As a crowd of several hundred proved recently in a northern New Jersey town, enough good people are determined to keep their memory alive. And so they should. The story of the Four Chaplains is one of the most stirring to emerge from the annals of World War II, and one of the most unbelievable, too. Yet it really happened.”

In a recent commentary, Jerry Costello, of The Christophers, offered a reflection on these four chaplains and their sacrifice.
