KEYSER - “Welcome to the ceremony honoring the Four Chaplains,” Boyce Houser Post 41 commander Jim Shumaker said recently as the post held a members-only program remembering those four chaplains who sacrificed themselves to save some of their fellow passengers as the USS Dorchester was taken down by the Germans.
“Boyce Houser Post 41 has participated in the annual event since 2019,” Shumaker explained. “Our historians tell us that we used to conduct this ceremony earlier in our history, and now we are back on track to continue this tradition.”
The program was private this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
