Rex Roark: "Shipmates and friends, as we pay tribute to our departed shipmates, we first invoke the blessings of God." Scott Williams: "Our Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech thee to accept our devotions. With Thy hand at the helm, may we navigate a true course of service and loyalty to thee, our country and our shipmates. Amen.

Joe DeFranco tolls the ships bell softly and continuously during ceremony. Rex Roark: "Shipmate Chaplain, for whom does the bell toll?" Scott Williams: "Shipmate, the bell tolls for the shipmates who are serving on the staff of the Supreme Commander and for those who have joined them during the past two years." ( Reading of Deceased Names, accompanied by John Petronka on the harmonica.)
