There is a tradition in the United States Navy that no submarine is ever truly lost at sea.
Those boats and the crews who don’t return to port are considered “still on patrol” in perpetuity.
They send holiday wishes for health and happiness to those they know will receive it, and the same wishes to those listed as still on patrol.
What if it’s the energy of the yearly good wishes that keeps them going on their eternal patrol?
And what if their eternal patrol protects the living against threats more otherworldly than mundane wars between nation states?.
What about other military men and women, disappeared or lost at sea, in the air, or on land?
Tell us what happens when they take the oath to protect their people not just from threats foreign and domestic, but supernatural as well. »
