Color Corps in Full Regalia circa 1965
From
S.K. Joseph Olivo: Red Skelton and the Pledge of Allegiance ....

Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of you were born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by saying, "GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS." Listen to the end of this. It is something he said 39 years ago. Very important that you listen to the very end! Eerie! Take a moment and listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is happening?

On February 3, 1943 the U.S.A.T. Dorchester was torpedoed in the waters of the North Atlantic. Rabbi Goode, Reverend Fox, Reverend Poling and Father John P. Washington, a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark realized there were not enough life vests for the over 900 sailors so they took off their own and handed them to four sailors. As the ship sank the four chaplains were seen in a circle, arms around each other and praying.
