No fair. Those are horrible pictures of me, I had been crying. Dang it SAM, I try to get some shut eye not ten feet away from you and look what you do.

In all seriousness, it was an honor and I was truly surprised. I had sent the flag for them, to hang over the side of the ship at their homecoming. I never expected or imagined it would come back to me and especially not in such an emotional way.

These bunch of sailors who do so much for us acted like I did something special for them. All I did was do my very best to show them how much I cared and how much I appreciated their service and how much I loved them for it.

It wasn't difficult at all. I had the easy part. I'll never forget the experience or them.

Thank you SAM for your support in all this and for going the extra mile to make sure we could experience this together as I always thought it should be.

Hi all!

I'd like to say that it was really great to meet snippy and sam in person. I really didn't mean to make snippy cry when we presented her with the Flag (did she mention that it was flown on the ship the moment we crossed the Equator and the International Date Line?),

Well, it's after 8 here and I've finally logged on to see this thread.

It was an honor to meet such fine Americans who fully support the military!

The pleasure was all mine Snippy and I wouldn't have missed this for the world. We managed to oversome the obstacles in the way of our going together and I can't express how much I appreciate all your help in making this come true.

Snippy and SAM hard at work preparing today's thread. before leaving for Oregon :-)
