The headstone was placed in memory of Benjamin L. Cannady, Jr., Gunner's Mate Third Class, USN, who was killed in action January 21, 1945, as a result of one of two kamikaze attacks that hit the USS Ticonderoga. That day the USS Ticonderoga was a member of three task groups engaged in attacks on the South Japanese Islands, that include Okinawa.
GM3 Cannady is memorialized as Buried at Sea on the Tablets of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery, McKinley Road, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, Philippines.
"We therefore commit his body to the deep, looking for the general Resurrection in the last day, and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; at whose second coming in glorious majesty to judge the world, the sea shall give up her dead; and the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him shall be changed, and made like unto his glorious body; according to the mighty working where by he is able to subdue all things unto himself." From the 1789 U. S. Book of Common Prayer.
