Title: Honoring Mississippi dead
Caption: Address given by Rear Admiral W.V. Pratt, USN: "And to you, who lie here at rest and at peace, know ye, that no monarch, that no country, could bestow upon you such a badge of honor as God gave you when he took you in his arms and said, 'Well done, faithful servants, you died in service; you died at your posts of duty.' As I look at each one of you, lying quietly in death, I can say with every manner here, 'There lies a man.' Every act of your life has been made white by this supreme sacrifice. He who has taken your lives into his keeping will grant your eternal peace. You have gone home."
