COEUR d'ALENE — Veteran Michael Quinn of the Pappy Boyington Detachment No. 966 was recently presented with The Chapel of Four Chaplains' Legion of Honor Humanitarian Award.
The award recognizes people whose actions represent the legacy of two ministers, a priest and a rabbi who gave their life jackets to four GIs so they could survive the sinking of the USS Dorchester in 1943. The four chaplains perished as the ship sank.
