"That Others May Live"
The "Dorchester," a converted luxury cruise ship was sunk with 900 troops, including four chaplains. After aiding and calming the troops the Chaplains sacrificed their lives by putting their life jackets on soldiers without them. They linked their arms and prayed together as they sank to their deaths.
