Passover, Easter greeting from VADM Train
As Navy and Marine Corps person-
nel of the Jewish faith have pre-
pared for the Passover observance,
and as the Christians prepare for
the Feast of The Resurrection this
Sunday, it is appropriate for com-
manding officers to grant personnel
an opportunity to attend religious
services, which commemorate the sol-
emn observance of Passover and Eas-
ter.
We, members of the Navy and Mar-
ine Corps family, unite with fellow
Americans in this period of spirit-
ual reflection and sacred religious
observance. May we, as people of
God, continue to draw strength from
our religious heritage.
I extend my greetings to Atlantic
Fleet personnel and to their fami-
lies in the firm hope that these
sacred times may be a period of
spiritual awareness for those of all
faiths.
