Happy Birthday A Poem by Dick Traser Stand tall and free for far beneath the sea the guardians of our nation serve with proud humility Sentinels for one hundred they have roamed the ocean floor responding to every threatening at our freedom's door A few submarines now do the chore once done by forces great And now, like then are manned by men from each and every state. Men who wear upon their breast with pride a badge to mark them from the It says they serve in silence and that they are this Nations best Ask not of them just what they do;where they've been, or where they go For these are things held in secret dark and you have no need to know. Know only that they are down there and will be in future years Patrolling seas both dark and to belay this Nations fears. These are your Sons America and the boats in which they serve They merit our gratitude and and our allegiance must not swerve And so in this, their centennial year please join me when I say Thank you for a job well done and have a happy birthday.
