"You will find the streets are guarded
     By United States Marines."

"Where no mothers cry
And no children weep,
We shall stand and guard
Though the angels sleep,
Oh, through the ages let us keep
The Mansions of the Lord"

"Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
    For those in peril on the sea!"

Gentlemen, I give you "Absent friends!"
