I served with them on foreign shores
I laughed with them
I cried with them
I talked about home with them
I learned about their families

In the end I saluted them
I watched them carried away in flag covered boxes
I prayed for them

Today I wonder about those who are crying for them
I wish their families knew
I cry for them

God bless them
Is it really a merry Christmas for everyone?

LEST WE FORGET. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all that served are serving and who will serve.

Now General Quarters-General Quarters Man All Battle Stations-From The Combat Information Center Watch Supervisor. Prepare for close aboard combat-Tally Ho! Yo!

During WWII no other Naval Unit eclipsed the record of the Little Beavers lead by Captain "31 Knot Arleigh Burke." There are Sailors and there are
DESTROYER SAILORS. Fast sleek they seek out the enemy to engage at point blank range.

Bringing a GUN to a knife fight.
