Four Chaplains Day Remembrance 2021 As chaplains, we want you to know that we care. No matter what it is you are facing, we are here as a resource and offer you 100% confidentiality. A chaplain’s ear is the safest space in the Defense Department for privileged communication, no matter your faith, background or beliefs. Dedication to the service of others has been the foundation of the Chaplain Corps from the start, and each year in February, this legacy is commemorated. On Feb. 3, 1943, the SS Dorchester (SC-290583), a coastal passenger steamship headed toward an American military base in Greenland, was struck by a German submarine torpedo. There were 902 servicemen, merchant seamen and civilian workers aboard the ship that sank only 150 miles from its destination. Hundreds lost their lives, but the story of the selfless acts and bravery of four chaplains who went down with Dorchester was carried in the memories of those who survived.
