I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.Gettysburg, Shiloh, Appomattox, San Juan Hill, The Trenches of France, TheArgonne Forest, Anzio, Rome, The Beaches ofNormandy, Guam, Okinawa,Japan, Korea, Vietnam, in the Persian Gulf, and a score ofplaces longforgotten, by all but those who were there with me . . . I WAS THERE!
I led my Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. I followed them andwatched over them. THEY LOVED ME!
I was on a small hill in Iwo Jima, I was dirty, battle-worn, and tired. But MYSoldiers CHEERED ME! AND I WAS PROUD!
I have been soiled, burned, torn, and trampled in the streets of countries that Ihave helped set free. It does not hurt — FOR I AM iNViNCIBLE.
I have been soiled, burned, torn, and trampled on the streets of my owncountry. And when it is by those with whom I have served in Battle, ITHURTS!
But I shall Overcome, for I AM STRONG! I have slipped the bonds ofEarth, and from my vantage point on the moon, I stand watch over theuncharted new frontiers of space.
I have been a silent witness to ALL ofAmerica’s finest hours. But my finesthour, is when I am torn in strips, to be used as bandages for my woundedcomrades on the field ofbattle, when I fly at half-mast to honor MY Soldiers,MY Sailors, MY Airmen, MY Marines, and when I lie in the trembling armsof a Grieving Mother, at the graveside of her fallen son or daughter...
I am proud. My name is Old Glory. Long may I wave, dear God, longmay I wave.

MC “Side Boys Post.”
MC Reads “The Watch.”
Boatswain, stand by to Pipe the Side (Ring Bell).
This order has been passed on naval ships from the 1 500s through today.Spanish, French, English, Dutch. Yes, every Navy in the world has used theBoatswain’ s Call, and Side Boys to bring aboard or send ashore, its officers,visiting officers, and all visiting dignitaries.
The Side Boys would haul on the ropes and raise or lower the boardingplatform so officers would not have to climb the rat lines (which werehanging over the side for the enlisted crew) when going ashore or aboard.This honor was extended to visiting officers, dignitaries, and port officials.
It was not uncommon for the Commanding Officer of a ship to order up theJolly Boat, a crew of eight strong backs, side boys, and boatswain to send anold shipmate and fellow officer to his shore retirement. . . home. . . never to sailon naval ships again.
“All Hands on Deck” was passed, and speeches were made about greatvictories, battles fought upon the open sea, raging storms weathered, andvoyages to distant and strange lands with ports-of-call others only dreamedabout.
Then, a fine sword, a brace ofpistols, a rifle or musket, or maybe a sea chestof fine wood and bound in brass was presented to remind him of crews andships with which he had served. The Boatswain would stand tall the sideboys, and the retiree would request permission to go ashore; he stepped to theplatform and the side boys would lower away. As the Jolly Boat pulledaway, the gunner would fire a Salute from the ship’s main battery, and theretiree sat in the stem sheets . . . going ashore.
In the late 1700s, the U.S. Navy set sail with new ideas, new goals and adesire to build traditions that would stand the test oftime. The U.S. Navy ledthe way in providing honors for crewman. The 1 800’s saw enlisted menholding retirements for enlisted men for the first time. The Captain wouldallow the Jolly Boat to take the enlisted retiree ashore. Afier the Civil War,the Commanding Officers began to hold enlisted retirement ceremonies toshow the crew that they and the Navy recognized the contributions of theenlisted crewman.
Today, our Navy has given most of the pomp and circumstance, the honors,

traditions, and ceremonies back to history; time does not give us the freedomto do these things from the past. Nevertheless, we still have to stop allengines, lay about smartly and drop anchor to pay honor to one of ourshipmates going ashore. We honor the years served, the guidance, theleadership, the friendship, and the expertise that this shipmate has freelygiven for years.
“ , USN” Aye mates, formany years, this man has stood the watch. While some of us lay in our bunksat night, this man has stood the watch. While others ofus were attendingschool, this Sailor stood the watch. And yes, even before many ofus wereborn, this shipmate stood the watch. As our families watched storm clouds ofwar building on the horizons ofhistory, this shipmate stood the watch.
Though, he saw his family ashore, ofien needing his guidance, he still stood
the watch. For years, he has stood the watch so that we and our fellowcountrymen could sleep soundly, in safety, each night.
Today, we are here to say, “Shipmate, The Watch Stands Relieved”, relievedby those you have led, guided, mentored, and trained. Boatswains stand by topipe the side . . . Shipmate going Ashore! Commanding Officer and Retiree
