The 14th annual Four Chaplains Service will be held on Saturday, February 7th.

Organizer Jim Little said the story of the Four Chaplains is a story of sacrifice, courage and love for others that must be told to each generation of Americans. Little said he is very pleased that this important story has become more well known in the community than it was in 2011, when the local service began.

Since 2016, fifty-seven outstanding members of the community have been inducted into the Four Chaplains Legion of Honor. Many organizations and individuals have been given certificates of appreciation for their part in the presentations of the Four Chaplains story. The names of these individuals and organizations have been enshrined in the plaque at the Roseburg American Legion Post 16, and on the mural on the wall of the Roseburg Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2468 war memorial.

The Four Chaplains Service will be held at Westside Christian Church on West Harvard Avenue in Roseburg. A “meet and greet” will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the service starting at 12:00 pm. For more information on the event, call 672-4635 or email: gunnerlittle@aol.com
