Now to see the USS Nicholas safely home. :o)
O eternal Lord, God, you alone spread out the heavens and rule the raging sea. Take into your most gracious protection our country's Navy and all who serve therein. Preserve them from the dangers of the sea and from the violence of the enemy, that they may be a safeguard unto the United States of America, and a security for such as sail upon the seas in peaceful and lawful missions. In serving you, O Lord, may our Sailors serve their country; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
When we lived in Washington, the USS Carl Vinson was homeported in Bremerton.
There's nothing like seeing an aircraft carrier with Sailors manning the rails. It is a sight to behold!!
Welcome Home Carl Vinson!! See you in the Tunnel!! If you're new to the area, drive fast. Don't gawk at going under the Chesapeake Bay. We'll run ya over if ya do. Just kidding--sort of. Hehe!
