Members of the USS Carbonero Base, United States Submarine Veterans will honor the memories of over 4,000 submariners lost in the line of duty in a formal public ceremony to recognize their service. It will be held Saturday, April 27, 11 a.m. at Soddy Daisy Veterans Park, 9009 Dayton Pike.
Service in Submarines is an inherently dangerous business and those who serve are volunteers, and since the founding of the US Submarine force in 1900, 65 submarines and over 4,000 men have given up their lives. Most of these young lives were lost during WWII when 52 submarines were lost.
The members of United States Submarine Veterans must publicly honor submariners so that their gallant service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
The public is invited to join in honoring these fallen heroes of the U.S. Submarine Force.
