Happy Fourth of July
Ten years ago, we had the privilege of touring the US Naval Academy in Annapolis with a WWII veterans group. Here are a few highlights from that trip…special access…lunch in the dining hall with cadets, tour of the chapel, seeing the cadets march to football game in their dress whites and last but not least attending the Evening Parade at the Marine Corps Barracks (George and Laura Bush were in attendance).
