My father had a hobby of stamp collecting and I enjoyed looking at the colorful stamps of various countries. And one day he showed me a stamp and told me a very moving and inspirational story I will never forget.
 The stamp had the pictures of four military chaplains and a sinking ship. These chaplains served all the soldiers, they gave away their lifejackets and as the ship sank they shouted “courage and prayers to the soldiers in the waters and the life boats. The four chaplains died arm in arm linked together. 
 On Memorial Day we remember those who have blessed our lives, our community, our faith, our country and our world, but now have passed on to God. I will share the story of the four chaplains who were of different faith expressions but were unified in death.
