I removed this paragraph from the main article, since the personal experiences of Radioman Third Class "I" (who is not me) are not encyclopedia material.

Many Coast Guard men risked their lives rescuing close to 200 survivors or more from the icy water. The Coast Guard ships were the USCG Tampa, The USCG Escanaba and the USCG Comanche. I was a radioman 3rd class on the USCG Comanche and witnessed many of the brave rescues that night. Most of the survivors were covered with diesel fuel and close to unconciousness. We stripped them of their clothes and rubbed their bodys to restore circulation. There is no doubt of the Chaplains courage in passing their life preservers to others, but many young coast guard men risked theirs also in the saving of survivors.

Another plan for the future is the memorial chapel for which a site has been cleared, but which will not be started this Summer. To honor the late Rabbi [Alexander D.] Goode, one of the four chaplains who gave up their life preservers to others and thus perished in the sinking of the Troopship S. S. Dorchester during the war, members of the Jewish fraternity raised about $15,000 for the chapel. Rabbi Goode, a former York Clergyman, and Scout leader of Troop 37, was active in youth work.
