Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the Restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
I cite this, The Navy Hymn, in memory of my shipmates killed on USS Iowa, April 19, 1989.
Oklahoma City isn't the only thing we need to remember on April 19. The 47 were our men.
