Join now, to get back in touch with shipmates.
The Ship's Reunion, June 4 to 7 in NORVA, was fantastic. Bus tour of Little Creek. Seeing the quay wall. Harbor cruise to N.O.B. and beyond. The new downtown Norfolk. Seeing today's LSDs. Linking up with shipmates. Good memories. Pride in our service. Being Navy again. Many thanks to C.J. and Julene DeHart for organizing it and to John Papalia for making the arrangements. See you in two years at the next reunion in Virginia Beach.
