Massev Rhim), Sculptor 21 We pray Thee to make our memories steadfast, that we may neverforget the oenerous sacrifices made for our country; may our dead beenshrined in our hearts; may their graves be the altars of our gratefuland re\erential patriotism. And now, O God, bless Thou these memorials. Bless them, OGod, in honor of mothers who bade their sons to do braxe deeds! Inhonor of wives who wept for husbands who should never come backagain! In honor of children whose priceless heritage is their fallenfathers heroic name! In honor of men and women who ministeredto the hurt and dying. In honor of men who counted not their livesdear when their country needed them; of those who sleep besidethe dust of their kindred, or under the salt sea, or in namelessgraves, where only Thine angels stand sentinels till the reveille of theresurrection morning. But chiefly, O God, in honor of him who sopatiently, wisely, bra\ely and steadfastly guided the .Ship of Statet
