00:00.330 --> 00:02.490
The story of the four chaplains is

00:02.490 --> 00:04.530
about 4 chaplains who gave up their

00:04.530 --> 00:07.690
life to save other people . Um , the

00:07.690 --> 00:10.850
ship was actually hit by a torpedo and

00:10.850 --> 00:13.017
they went down with the ship . Instead

00:13.017 --> 00:15.183
of escaping because they were actually

00:15.183 --> 00:17.350
wearing their life vest , they decided

00:17.350 --> 00:19.461
to give up their life vest to be able

00:19.461 --> 00:21.406
to save 4 other people . The story

00:21.406 --> 00:24.409
represents , um , putting others before

00:24.409 --> 00:26.649
yourself . It just gives an incredible

00:26.649 --> 00:28.969
example of a selflessness act . And I

00:28.969 --> 00:30.969
feel that everybody in the military

00:30.969 --> 00:33.200
will respect that . So the idea of the

00:33.200 --> 00:35.422
painting came up when Sergeant Tate and

00:35.422 --> 00:37.422
Jaden came up to us and showed us a

00:37.422 --> 00:39.700
picture to do a mural , and Richardson ,

00:39.840 --> 00:42.159
Marte , and I jumped in it . It was a

00:42.159 --> 00:44.270
little bit difficult , challenging at

00:44.270 --> 00:46.610
first , but . We sat down , we planned

00:46.610 --> 00:49.009
and coordinated the , the effort . It

00:49.009 --> 00:51.176
takes a little bit of time . It's time

00:51.176 --> 00:53.287
consuming . We , we have to put a lot

00:53.287 --> 00:55.120
of details in it . So what we're

00:55.120 --> 00:57.176
painting is the four chaplains , the

00:57.176 --> 00:59.231
ship that went down when the torpedo

00:59.231 --> 01:01.453
hit the ship , and then you see some of

01:01.453 --> 01:03.509
the helmets representing some of the

01:03.509 --> 01:05.676
military men that fell with the ship .

01:05.676 --> 01:07.731
Um , we also have the names of the 4

01:07.731 --> 01:09.565
chaplains , and then we have the

01:09.565 --> 01:12.510
chaplain Corps SEAL . The mural makes

01:12.510 --> 01:16.239
me feel inspired . The sacrifices that

01:16.239 --> 01:18.769
the four chaplains made is what

01:18.769 --> 01:21.790
identifies what military is . It's

01:21.790 --> 01:23.957
service before self . We sacrifice for

01:23.957 --> 01:26.910
our country . I would like to encourage

01:26.910 --> 01:29.150
people to actually look up to these 4

01:29.150 --> 01:32.650
chaplains and uh . Just , just keep

01:32.650 --> 01:35.330
doing good . Volunteering wise , it ,

01:35.370 --> 01:37.330
it made me feel good that we're

01:37.330 --> 01:39.599
honoring people who served in the

01:39.599 --> 01:43.260
military and who are great examples as

01:43.290 --> 01:45.730
a whole for the military . It's a

01:45.730 --> 01:48.080
fulfilling thing knowing that we're

01:48.080 --> 01:50.302
helping like religious affairs , but at

01:50.302 --> 01:52.769
the same time , um , we're having fun

01:52.769 --> 01:55.050
with it . We're able to just hang out

01:55.050 --> 01:57.217
together but also make a difference at

01:57.217 --> 01:57.629
the same time .
