The Tolling of the Boats is a memorial service to honor our lost submarine brothers who made the supreme sacrifice while performing their duties with valor, integrity, and courage. This ceremony is a fundamental part our creed as members of U.S. Submarine Veterans, "To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in pursuit of their duties while serving their country."
Please invite your family and friends to join us.
Pre-event social time starts at 11:00 AM, followed by a picnic at 11:30 AM. The Tolling Ceremony begins at 1:00 PM.
Handicapped parking is available in this area.
We will need volunteers at the park at 10:00 AM to help us set up for the picnic and ceremony and then again after the service to help clean up the area.
If you have questions about the ceremony or would like to help out, you can contact Keith Watson at 360-886-0778.

Let's have a good showing from the Seattle Base to honor all of our World War II shipmates, both those who will be at the service and those on eternal patrol.
