Discovering the heroes of Chaplain’s Hill at Arlington National Cemetery High School and Middle School Students: Use your creativity to help tell the stories of military chaplains who gave their lives while serving their country. The Chapel of the Four Chaplains is an interfaith non-profit organization that promotes selfless service. It was dedicated in honor of four U.S. Army Chaplains of different religions who gave up their life jackets, prayed together and died when their troopship was torpedoed in World War II. These four chaplains have been honored in many locations throughout our nation.
Each of the Four Chaplain’s names, Rabbi Alexander Goode, Rev. George Fox, Rev. Clark Poling and Father John Washington are on one of the above monuments on Chaplains Hill in Arlington National Cemetery that honor the more than two hundred fallen military chaplains of all faiths who have died in uniform from World War I through today. The Chapel of Four Chaplains would like to honor all of the military chaplains on these monuments with our competition.
Through Art, Photography, an Essay, or a YouTube video, applicants should depict the life and service of one or more of the Chaplains memorialized on Chaplains Hill and how the actions of these Chaplains, in life and in facing death, are relevant to our nation today. The Scholarship Competition will have separate award categories for 12th graders, 9th -11th graders and 5th – 8th graders. First place awards will be $1,000 for high school seniors and $500 for underclassmen. Please see our website by Clicking Here or our facebook page for complete rules and guidelines or for more information on the Four Chaplains. Deadline: January 30, 2014.
