Pnnsylvania, USA --- Chris and Carol Green gave the opening prayer for the Unity Breakfast at the Lemoyne VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 7530. This event was convened to honor all Service Men/Women and Veterans. It was also a time for honoring Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Families, and the legacy of The Four Chaplains.
The tradition of the Gold Star began during World War II. During the early days of the war, a blue star was hung in homes and businesses to represent each living active-duty member. As soldiers were killed in combat, the gold star was superimposed on the blue star to honor the person for their ultimate sacrifice. Eventually, the mothers of those fallen service members became known as Gold Star Mothers, and their families Gold Star Families.The Four Chaplains were remembered for their selfless service and legacy. On Feb. 2, 1943 Reverend Fox, Rabbi Goode, Reverend Poling and Father Washington passed life’s ultimate test by giving up their life jackets on a sinking ship. In doing so, they became an enduring example of extraordinary faith, courage and selflessness. Learn more about them from the website: www.fourchaplains.org.
The event was sponsored by the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship in America (PA Chapters), VFW Post 7530, and District 18 PA.
"We were honored and blessed to share the breakfast table and hear powerful stories from the Chaplain of the VFW Post, Gene Arnold and his wife Darla," Chris and Carol commented. "Gene also leads the PA Chapters of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship in America."
