SENATE RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE 83RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE "FOUR CHAPLAINS", THE FOUR MEN OF GOD WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES DURING WORLD WAR II SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE

The resolution honors their sacrifice of giving up their life jackets to save others, as documented in the resolution's historical context.
