I am reposting this since it is Navy Day in the USO Canteen.

You may recall a few days ago Snow Bunny posted
some e-mails from military who have been to the USO Canteen.

Members of the USS DECATUR DDG 73 come here often to lurk.
In fact they "know" many of us in here.
So I thought it would be nice to "dock" their ship in the USO Canteen today.
There is a lot of info about the crew, the ship and pics on their site.
Just Click on any Pic to visit their site.

This is great, Tonk. Thanks for posting the link to the Decatur's website and pix of the crew. I sent an email to the public affairs officer of the Decatur to let him/her know that FReepers are honoring their ship today. Hope to hear from some of them!
