A SILENT PRAY
The toll of the bell reminds us of the reverence we owe to our departed member and to those who guard the honor of our country upon the sea, under the sea, in the air and upon foreign soil. Let it be a reminder of the faith they confide in us. Let us who gather here not forget our obligations and in silence breathe a prayer for our absent member. Fair Winds and Following Seas
