My parents served, and met in The Navy!

How cool! Yep, I come from a long line of proud Navy veterans; my dad was career Navy, my husband's father, career Navy. Two BIL's are Annapolis Naval Academy graduates. I have a Nephew serving in the Navy now in Afghanistan. Only one Nephew decided to be different and join the Army. He always did march to a different drummer, bless his heart. LOL.

Thanks Meg for the beautiful flowers you bring, you make this place pretty each day, and Maj, for the cute patriotic bears that showed up in my mailbox the other day. Hugs to you both.

My late husband was in the Navy at the end of Korean War, and my grandson is in the Navy right now. My first cousin was a submariner in WW2.

GO NAVY
