**Does not the Vice Admiral look as if he should be aboard ship, bracing for a nor'easter, mates? Be still my heart! Those Naval uniforms ... **

Agreed, Gretchen. My husband has some pics of himself in Naval Dress and yes indeed...be still my heart!

Maybe it has to do with the fact that all my contemporary relatives who've gone into military service have joined the Navy ... I don't know, but something in me melts when I see a man in perfect dress uniform, and he's Navy.
