Attention on Deck! Taps are sounding (can you hear them?)
Mr. Jerry J. Gavin is now passing in review.
His dedication to his God and Country is his salvation.
Now gathered are the old soldiers of the past who await his arrival.
He has not been forgotten - as he like other countless numbers
who've passed before him await his arrival.
We salute his contributions to his Country.
Rest in peace old friend and remember us when our time has comes -
For we shall also need some reassurance from old friends in the promised land.

Amen.
