I remember that.  Not well, of course.  I would have been in second grade at the time.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Thanks for sharing that.

While the loss of the Thresher predates me a little I am passing familiar with it.
My first boat was the same class as the Thresher. Originally 593/Thresher class renamed 594/Permit Class after the loss.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
