Crew At Rest

An incomplete listing

One of the purposes of forming the USS James Madison Association is to honor our shipmates who sail no more. These are the faces who appear only in our memories and no longer in the flesh. They are the main characters in a story of freedom and camaraderie and the occasional tale of a sailor on the town. They will be missed and appreciated for who they were while amongst us and for who and what they have left behind.  To their honor and memory, we say:

Rest your oars, old sailor
No more will you go to sea
Rest your oars, old sailor
This is where you're supposed to be.

It took 40 years for the Jolly Dolly and us to reach this point.

Please have patience as we build this site.
