Dad was in the South Pacific on LST-66. Even in his waning years and riddled with cancer, this was the highlight of his sports life. Go Navy!!

How does a Coast Guard ship fight in Leyte Gulf? Amazing men. Dad was the NCO in charge of those big 12cyl engines and the Admirals run a bout LOL

Merry Christmas everyone!

My dad was a retired LCDR. He used to put on his old uniform to watch the game. Me, well, the Marines are a Department of the Navy. The Mens' Department!

Yeah, that's an old joke. My dad died before I enlisted, but I can just imagine the conversations...

God bless and hold your Dad close and dear. My precious Dr. O played for Navy, (class of '58 the great) and loved watching this game, so now I watch and now I feel free to root for Army (my Dad served in the Army during WWII) because as a native San Diegan, I like the underdogs.
