Four Chaplains Day Recognized in Manchester Township

Mayor Joseph Hankins recently had the honor of presenting Manchester Township Police Chaplains Pastor Owen Alston and Pastor Frank Watson, and U.S. Air Force Chaplain Rabbi Raphael Berdugo, with a Proclamation in recognition of Four Chaplains Day. Observed annually on February 3rd, Four Chaplains Day commemorates the selfless and heroic actions of four military chaplains during World War II, as they sacrificed their lives to save others in the face of a sinking ship. Manchester Township is home to a distinguished and proud Veterans community, and it remains incumbent upon us, as a community, to remember and honor the tremendous sacrifice of those who served our country. May we all reflect upon the selfless acts of the Four Chaplains, and engage in acts of kindness, understanding, and unity in the spirit of their memory.
