A Success Story...
Immortal Chaplains Foundation: Idea to Reality!: In early 1997, a former client and friend from the American Red Cross called and said..."Doug I would like to have you meet and see if your can help with his friend that has a wonderful vision to immortalize one of his uncles and help humanity at the same time! Some background...On Feb. 3, 1943, the US warship the Dorchester was sunk by a German U-233 submarine and over 970 US soldiers were drowned in seventeen minutes in the middle of night in the icy North Atlantic seas. Rev. George Fox our client's uncle along with Rev. Polling, Father Washington and Rabbi Goode were the "Immortal Four Chaplains" that were from different faiths, and ethnicity, but were of the same mind and spirit in adversity..."were last seen holding hands and praying and helping others as the Dorchester Troopship sunk into the cold North Atlantic seas to all their demises." The idea of starting and empowering... The Immortal Chaplains Foundation with its main offices in the Twin Cities of Mpls & St. Paul was gladly taken on to become a longtime DAPA client by empowering them and working hand in hand from an idea to reality. What is the Immortal Chaplians Foundation key components: * A Bridge of Compassion between Diverse Races and Faiths...with annual Immortal Chaplains Prizes for Humanity to those have who have risked all to protect others or a different race or faith! * A Bridge of Reconcilation Between the Past and Present... by broadening and creating a public reconcilation between the families of the survivors of both sides of the WWII Dochester tragedy...setting the stage for broader understanding of reconcilation worldwide. * A Bridge of Understanding for the Future...by teaching and inspiring youth with free educational curricum, video testamonials, and materials that leaves a lasting impression of interfaith compassion of helping our neighbors. Our first Immortal Chaplains Foundation Humanity Prize on Feb. 7, 1999 among the winners were Archbishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa and the many others of note over the years.
