You have probably heard of Chaplain Taggart’s book, “My Fighting Congregation” but do you know his story?
On This Day in Chaplain Corps History, 27 February 1942, Chaplain William C. Taggart performed his duties -and more- so gallantly during fighting on the island of Java, that later that year he was awarded the Silver Star for his actions on this day in 1942.
