Strange, but I'm sure I heard a boatswains pipe calling me here this morning.

Thanks for the pings, Bos'n Bunny.

Salute to all my Navy shipmates.

Mama Bear, Thank You for your tributes to your two Dads - The tears seem to be contagious.

Billie, You can wear that hat with pride and you will deserve every salute rendered.

Louie, I'd be honored to have you as a shipmate.

Tonk, Thank You for your continuing service to this great country.

Salute to the USS Decatur (DDG-73) from and old Tin Can Tender sailor - USS Piedmont (AD-17) 1964-67.

No you wouldn't....I get seasick.

Seriously, Dave, I appreciate your saying so.

Coming from you makes it very special. Thank you.

Thank you and hello, you old tin can tender sailor, thank you for being just that. You'll always be one of the good guys. (as well as giving Louie a run for the money in the "heartthrob" department.) :)
