Recent Interview on WW2-TV Discussing My Book Immortal Valor


Privileged to be a second-time guest on WW2-TV this past week the superb history channel on Youtube. Check out my discussion with Paul Woodadge on my book Immortal Valor, now out in paperback. 

The remarkable story of the seven African American soldiers ultimately awarded the World War II Medal of Honor, and the 50-year campaign to deny them their recognition. 

In 1945, when Congress began reviewing the record of the most conspicuous acts of courage by American soldiers during World War II, they recommended awarding the Medal of Honor to 432 recipients. Despite the fact that more than one million African-Americans served, not a single Black soldier received the Medal of Honor. The omission remained on the record for over four decades.

The Four Chaplains: Heroes of the U.S.S. Dorchester

Introduction:

In the annals of history, there are tales of extraordinary bravery that transcend time and leave an indelible mark on the collective conscience. The story of the four chaplains who perished on the US.S. Dorchester in February 1943 is one such tale. Their selflessness and sacrifice in the face of adversity serve as a testament to the power of unity and compassion. Today, we remember these remarkable men and the enduring legacy they left behind, including the establishment of the Four Chaplains Medal.


The Journey on the US.S. Dorchester:

During World War II, the US.S. Dorchester, a military transport ship, embarked on a perilous journey with over 900 soldiers, sailors, and civilians on board. Among them were four chaplains representing different faiths: George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, Clark V. Poling, and John P. Washington. These men were committed to providing spiritual guidance and solace to those in need, regardless of their religious beliefs.


The Fateful Night:

On the night of February 3, 1943, tragedy struck as a German submarine torpedoed the Dorchester, sending it spiraling into chaos. Amidst the panic and terror, the four chaplains rose above the chaos, displaying unparalleled bravery and selflessness. They distributed life jackets to the frightened and struggling, disregarding their own safety.


Selfless Sacrifice:

In their final moments, the chaplains exemplified the highest ideals of their respective faiths. Their unity transcended religious boundaries as they comforted the wounded, offered prayers, and provided solace to the terrified passengers. Their unwavering commitment to saving lives, without regard for rank or background, was an act of unparalleled heroism.


The Legacy:

News of the chaplains' heroic sacrifice spread, leaving a profound impact on the American public. Their story of unity and selflessness touched hearts across the nation. In 1960, the U.S. Congress established the Four Chaplains Medal to honor their extraordinary bravery and to recognize those who embody the spirit of interfaith cooperation and selfless service.


The Four Chaplains Medal:

The Four Chaplains Medal stands as a prestigious recognition of individuals who prioritize the welfare of others above their own. This medal is awarded to those who exemplify the virtues demonstrated by the four chaplains. It symbolizes unity, compassion, and selflessness in the face of adversity, and it serves as a reminder of the impact that a single act of kindness and bravery can have on the world.


Their Enduring Inspiration:

Today, the memory of the four chaplains lives on, inspiring generations to embrace the values of compassion, unity, and selflessness. Memorial services, monuments, and annual ceremonies commemorate their sacrifice, ensuring that their story remains etched in our collective consciousness. The Four Chaplains continue to be a source of inspiration and a shining example of the indomitable human spirit.


Conclusion:

The story of the four chaplains who perished on the US.S. Dorchester in 1943 is a testament to the power of selflessness and the enduring impact of their sacrifice. Their heroism transcends time, reminding us of the profound difference one can make in the lives of others. Through the establishment of the Four Chaplains Medal, their legacy lives on, honoring those who embody their spirit of compassion and unity. May we forever remember the selfless acts of these remarkable men and strive to emulate their virtues in our own lives.
