A Korean War veteran has passed away today. Trevor, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The USS Eugene Greene is now on station preparing for your final departure. The honor guards are stationed and volley has sounded.
