Chaplain conroy let us pray. God of the universe, thank you for giving us another day. Throughout the country people mourn those whom they have lost. People lament the loss of businesses of normalcy. 100,000 have now died of covid19. They were democrats and republicans, they lived in urban areas and now more and more in rural areas. They were the desendents of men and women who were colonists or founding fathers, and immigrants who had recently become citizens. They were disproportionately people of color, but not only of color, and of every religion and culture in this nation. , when o lord, will we come to understand that we are all in this together . If we do not stand together we risk falling together. Heal the divisions within our body politic, within this chamber so that your healing power through our actions and good will can be manifest in our United States. May everything done this day and in the days and weeks to come be for your greater honor and glory, amen. The speaker pro
Retire the colors. Chaplain nordan will now offer the invocation. Would you bow with me in prayer . Eternal god, we gather here on this sacred ground to pause, reflect, and remember the 129 crew members of the United States ship thresher. They served their country in the height of the cold war and were fully prepared to do whatever called upon to defend our nation, be it above or below the seas. The tragic loss felt on that april day of 1963 still stings our hearts. But we are also thankful that out of this tragedy, much good has come through the establishment of the sub safe program, our nation has the strongest and safest submarine force in history. This assurance of safety has been secured by those who gave their lives while onboard the thresher. We thank you for those gathered here this day who have worked tirelessly to ensure that those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation are never to be forgotten. Continue to bless their efforts. For the family members,
