Your essay

In 1943, four Army chaplains of different faiths, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode among them, gave their life jackets to other soldiers as the U.S.A.T. Dorchester sank. Tell us about a time you put others first, or about someone whose service or courage inspires you, and how you hope to serve others in the future.
