The Senate Resolution introduced by Phillips-Hill and others designates February 3, 2025, as "Four Chaplains Day" in Pennsylvania. This date commemorates the tragic sinking of the U.S. Army Transport Dorchester on February 3, 1943, after it was torpedoed by a German U-boat, resulting in the loss of over 600 lives. In the critical moments before the ship sank, four Army chaplains—Lieutenants George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, John P. Washington, and Clark V. Poling—demonstrated extraordinary bravery by comforting the dying, guiding survivors to safety, and selflessly giving away their life jackets to others in need.

The resolution also acknowledges the legacy of these chaplains, who were posthumously awarded a Special Medal for Heroism by Congress in 1961, along with other honors. The Four Chaplains Memorial Foundation in Philadelphia continues to celebrate their contributions, and Lieutenant Goode is particularly remembered in York County, where a school is named in his honor. The resolution aims to honor the chaplains' sacrifice and inspiring selflessness, coinciding with the annual gathering of the Four Chaplains Memorial of York County organization in 2025.
