Thank you, Florance for accepting me as a new NavyDad friend.  I'm not sure if you saw my comments on FaceBook "NavyDads" ?  You asked if I could make a picture for you ... and I did.  It's posted on FaceBook now. Have a great and Blessed day :)

I just wanted to stop by and say Happy New Year and Happy Birthday. I heard you were another year younger and that is some special.

Thanks for writing. I'm doing fine. A busy summer so far. Went to see my daughter and family. Had a great time with the grandkids. Went to visit the parents. Celebrated my dad's 79th bday and saw him march in a small parade with his fellow VFW. Saw my MIL who had broke her hip earlier this summer. Now waiting for Craig to go off on deployment. His first. Love your pics. God bless. Take care.

Welcome to NavyDads Florence ! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I have! I'm lucky enough to have two sailors- my son Eric is almost half-way through a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).

Adam is an example of what has made this country great Florence. My words cannot express my thanks to you for raising such a fine example of what we call a hero...someone that is willing to stand up for what he believes and to pay the ultimate sacrifice for that belief. We at NavyDads are honored to have you as a member Florence. May the Lord bless you and your familiy in 2009. Best Regards- Paul
