Today is Silver Star Service Banner Day, a day we take time out to honor the brave men and women who have been awarded the Silver Star Medal, the third-highest military decoration for valor in combat. We salute all recipients of this award in defense of our nation.

Legionaries Ari, Ted, Cory, and Rich clean the entrance hallway to Pasadena Post 13. The Post is closed due to COVID but still requires cleaning.

On this day in 1943, four military chaplains sacrifice their lives when their troop transport ship is struck by a German torpedo. [A]s I left the ship, one engineer later said, I looked back and saw the chaplains . . . with their hands clasped, praying for the boys. They never made any attempt to save themselves, but they did try to save the others. I think their names should be on the list of the Greatest Heroes of this war.
