A quick note to say I posted some pics of my daughter's wedding to her Marine as she prepares to go to OCS herself June 3. I got all choked up saying the toast, especially when I had to announce my son missing this out on the USS Geaorge Washington which I was interrupted with appluse honoring him, then saying the e-mail he sent the night before for me to say to his sister. Afterwards, I asked all current and former military to stand, and before I could ask, the whole place erupted in thunderous applause. It was the hardest speech I have ever made, but I am so glad I did. I don't know, maybe I can post it somehow. Regardless, a moment to remember!

from what I understood from Lee, the Polly Wog Ceremony is where newbie sailor's get to cross the international date line for the first time. They get initiated somewhat - does anyone else know more????

Cora, I heard from my son a few days ago as well (aboard the GW) he's enjoying it too, although he's working 16 hours. Says theres never a dull moment! LOL.....Bless them all.

Just got am email from Lee, she is about to experience her "Polly Wog" ceremony!!! I just realized my little girl is no longer a little girl - she is a young woman. I am glad she is having these kinds of opportunities - things I have never done - nor will do...
God Speed & God Bless our sailors!
To the members here - please Thank your children for me...For their dedication & service to me & my family, and for the freedoms we enjoy!

My son Garrett was sent back on the GW just as they were to leave for their three week or so initial cruise. Dissappointed only because he was to go on the Cowpens cruiser as one of 4 AW/Rescue swimmers, but it was down for service. We were hoping he could come home for his sister's wedding this Sat 5/22, since the Cowpens wasn't scheduled to leave until June. His sister understands though, she is marrying a newly commissioned 2nd LT in the Marines, and is scheduled to go to OCS for the Marines herself June 3rd to become a 2nd LT. Pray for nice weather in Central Florida on 5/22!! Let us remember Garrett's sacrafice at the wedding, along with all of your sailor's sacrafices to all of us every day.
