My Baby brother Matt was in the US Navy for 20 years. He now lives in Norfolk Virginia.
He was always on a Carrier, this hat was from one of his ships.
Hmmmmm..Now you all know what Friday is, right kiddies?

as always great pic! My husband and I drove over to the Mercedes dealership in Knoxville to check out the Smart Car because I am very interested in one. They do start at around $12k and go up depending on the options you choose. I would have to keep my mini-van if I bought the Smart Car because my kids would have nowhere to ride.

Have a great day!

My SIL just retired from the Navy. She had been out in those boats patroling the waters to protect us. and I think she was out there a couple years back when we had the olympics to keep watch. I do know she was a repair person for the boats. I think she was on the SSHumphery. But dont quote me on that Ive been wrong before lol

My mom grew up in norfolk--she was a navy brat too (just like me ;)) My dad was on a destroyer and a frigit? (Or however you spell it.)

You look as huggable as ever, Galen!!

My daddy was an Air Force officer. But the Navy is the second-best branch of service. Nice hat, Galen!

Hi, Galen: My son was in the Navy for 6 years. Got his college degree there. He was in Norfolk for a time. Took remote duty in Diego Garcia and then in Iceland. I think maybe the base in Iceland is closed now. Hubby was (is-ha) a Marine and was on the Saratoga for a time. See ya tomorrow. D
