Master Chief, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran and community servant. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final departure. The honor guards are stationed and final volley has sounded. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.

My beloved husband was a wonderful dancer and my best memories are of us dancing together which we did every Saturday night. We called it our date night and we went out to dinner and then to some place to dance the night away.
