Rhode Island commemorates the 83rd anniversary of the "Four Chaplains" who sacrificed their lives during World War II.

The bill commemorates the 83rd anniversary of the "Four Chaplains," four religious leaders who lost their lives during World War II while serving in the military. They selflessly gave up their life jackets to others when it became clear there were not enough for everyone. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to the Rhode Island Department of Veterans Affairs and the Marine Corps League Division Chaplain. The chaplains are honored with various memorials, including a stained glass window in the Pentagon Chapel and inscriptions on the Walls of the Missing.
