Memorial dedication remarks by
J. Richardsen - Silver State Submarine Veterans of World War II
On this day 55 years ago, the CORVINA and her crew were lost. This day, 55 years later, we are here to dedicate this memorial to them, to their families, to their purpose and to prove in our way that their loss will not go unnoticed. We know their loss was not in vain, and it must be remembered and honored. If you will listen, very closely, not with your ears, but with your heart, you will hear a very definite, "Thank You", from these brave warriors of the CORVINA.
