hello joshmom- I got that call last Friday! It was great to hear her voice! Thanks and I will let you know how it goes and post pics. Can we actually give them hugs? Someone was saying that we have to keep our distance due to PDA while in uniform. Is that right?

I found out about this same thing last night. It was on the Mom's of Navy Divers Group. If anyone is interested, they are taking donations, see the following:
Last week we lost two of our divers during a training session in Maryland. One of the divers leaves two young daughters. They have set up a fund to get divers to the funerals to support the families as well as give the balances to the families. Please go to: www.youcaring.com/other/help-us-get-there-/44965 to help.

I wasn't sure how widespread the news coverage has been so I wanted to make sure that all of the Missouri Moms were aware that we lost a young sailor last week who grew up in Kansas City, He was a Navy diver and was killed in a training accident with another young sailor from Ohio. I don't know the family personally and I don't know if any of his family are members of this group. If they are my deepest condolences in your loss.
