Ramadan Prayers Aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt
Aboard the Theodore Roosevelt, a dozen Muslim sailors observed Ramadan in the ship’s chapel while the carrier circled the northern Arabian Sea. Seaman Jermaine Scales could not see the Ramadan moon and could not always face Mecca, but prayed with intent in his heart. Muslim servicemen note U.S. bombing in Afghanistan continues during Ramadan, justifying defense of home and country.
