This Page is Dedicated to All of our Deceased Shipmates and their wives

Our shipmates will always be remembered as Battleship Sailors and Battleship Marines and will live on as part of the USS Wisconsin History.

A beautiful Memorial Service is held at every reunion for our USS Wisconsin    shipmates who have passed on since our last reunion.  Each name is read aloud, a flower is placed by loved ones or friends into memorial wreaths, the ship’s bell tolls, taps are played, and if it’s held outdoors there may be a 21 gun salute.

After the service the wreaths are usually put out to sea. This is quite an impressive and moving ceremony.
