The slogan of the Canadian Legion  is " LET PEACE BE THEIR MEMORIAL" . In remembering the service and sacrifice of our war veterans, we recognize the tradition of freedom they fought to preserve. These men and women had faith in the future and by their acts  gave us the will to preserve peace for all time. To all the sailors both naval and merchant who gave their lives to protect our freedom, we dedicate the Naval Prayer.
 
 

THE NAVAL PRAYER 0 eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out of the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; who has compassed the waters with bounds until day and night come to an end; be pleased to receive into thy almighty and most gracious protection the persons of us thy servants and the fleet in which we serve. Preserve us from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of the enemy; that we may be a safeguard unto our most gracious sovereign lady. Queen Elizabeth and her dominions, and security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasion; that the inhabitants of our commonwealth may in peace and quietness serve thee our God; and that we may return in safety to enjoy the blessings of the land, with the fruits of our labours, and with a thankful remembrance of thy mercies to praise and glorify thy holy name; through Jesus Christ our lord.  AMEN.
