<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I remember going to memorial services with my parents when I was younger to honor their service to our country.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I do know of the Four chaplains and their sacrifice to save the lives of others but haven&#39;t been to a ceremony to Honor these Four fine men.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Way back in the day while assigned to NRMC Camp Pendleton, my office was in the basement. At the other end was the chaplains offices and small chapel. We &quot;groundhogs&quot; got pretty tight. They&#39;d do a special service on Groundhog Day to remember the Four Chaplains. Pretty much only the groundhogs (logistics too) showed up. Our holy rollers included a O6 Catholic and O5 Methodist and Rabbi. They were prime examples of respect for each other&#39;s religion and service to all. It was easy to see why the special service held was a no brainer to them. The sermon aspect was you didn&#39;t have to be a chaplain to be of service to all. Since then, I never saw or heard of this service. However, a bunch of the time, there were no chaplains around so I&#39;d presume it&#39;d go off somewhere else.<br />As an aside, we collectively rebelled at the notion of wearing name tags for the Navy Ball. Word was, we had to. So we swapped name tags. I became Rabbi Ball. It got hilarious as people would look at my sleeve trying to figure out what a Rabbi&#39;s emblem was. I merely stated the CEC emblem was the burning bush and they went with it. Medical types would believe anything. And Father Cohill? He was a supply officer. Unfortunately his Christian Cross device was just to much to explain away as a dagger, telephone pole, etc. He did try.....
