..BTW I led the Pledge of Allegiance at the meeting. I'll be on radio watch on the 4th from 7:30AM-after the local fireworks stop. ..

Congratulations, Mr. Tonk, I am sure that made your heart swell. Do you get a good seat for the fireworks, too. Sounds like it would be quite a sight.

"Do you get a good seat for the fireworks, too."

No, I'll be in the radio room ion watch.
With heightend security on the 4th,
lots of boat traffic and shortage of personnell on the base
my being there is more important than any fireworks display I might have see.
