Clear for Action

This is an ecard for veterans day that can be found on the community page of crosswalk.com. The original illustration was done in graphite. But sanctify the Lord in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; -1 Peter 3:15 Clear For Action - When the captain gave this command the ship would become a flurry of activity as the crew stowed all non-essential items, cleared the Captain and Admirals quarters, and prepared for damage and fire. Preparing for battle was a significant order and set in motion a well organized set of events. This sketch pays respect to our men and women in the Armed Services as they have "Cleared For Action" to serve our country. The officer depicted is wearing an 1813 reproduction of an officer's uniform of the U.S. Navy that is worn by the men and women assigned to the USS Constitution today.
