Pray for our Service Men & Women

Put simply, over the last century, America's submariners have risked, served, fought and on occasion died
so that Americans might have a safer and freer life.  In the process,
they have given full measure to the Navy, the nation, and the free world.
I can think of no higher price."

Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr. USN Ret.

“Put more into life than you expect to get out of it. Drive yourself and lead others. Make others feel good about themselves.
 They will outperform your expectations, and you will never lack for friends.”

Admiral Eugene Fluck,ey USN Ret.,  Medal of Honor  Recipient
