On Saturday, January 27, 2024, members of John J. Morris Post 62 in Peoria, Arizona, volunteered to do 4 Chaplains educational ceremony for the Sons of the American Revolution in Sun City West, Arizona. Half of the room were also veterans, and while some knew of the 4 Chaplains, the majority did not. It was very moving and everyone in attendance watched and learned. If the story of the 4 Chaplains does not move you, I do not know what will. It was an honor to take part in the ceremony and meet the audience.
