OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Suzi & Navy25 I am sure both your Dad's feel this way; just alittle somehting to read.
Dear Suzi & Navy25 ~
To my dear family,
I'm sending this from above,
That even though I'm gone from earth,
I can still feel your love,
And all the times we spent together,
Growing a love that would last forever,
Are times that will never leave,
Because you remember me.
I had a loving family,
You have god by your side,
And just to let you know,
I'm enjoying this long heavenly harley ride.
If any of you ever need me,
Just close your eyes and I'll be there,
I'll help you through your life,
If you remember how much I cared.
I want you all to know today,
That I love you very much,
And even though I'm gone from earth,
I can still feel your love.

Thanks ladies. He was US Army during Vietnam and my Navy son got his flag and dog tags and even his uniform, liberty pass and meal card. We also found a stained glass window with an anchor in the middle.
For me...I love memories and started to record some while I still remember. I also LOVE the photos. My brother would toss it all, but I want the connection. Going back to Penna tomorrow to work on insurance and other paperwork.
He will be missed by many.....
