In Remembrance

Bless us O Lord, as we gather here in Thy name in remembrance of our shipmates and comrades who served our country and to promote the defense of our American ideals and heritage. Guide and direct us in our deliberations that they may give glory and honor to Thee and be for the good of all mankind in Thy Holy Name.

AMEN.
