I saw a post (via email notification) from Seahawks12 asking for car transportation recommendations…. It’s gone now. If you still need it we had a very good experience with Sherpa. Well priced. Fast. Good service. Military discount.
I’ve been in southwest VA since Wednesday for work doing damage assessments. It’s a mess and it’s going to take years to rebuild parts of the area. I can’t even imagine what it’s like in Asheville and other areas that got it worse than us. Mind blowing.
Be safe out there.
Thank you to all of y'all for your prayers for the Helene families! I went on Thursday and Friday to my hometown (just north of Asheville) and it is heart-breaking and inspiring at the same time. I was there only 24 hours, and at least 3 strangers stopped by to ask if we needed water or food or cleaning supplies. My cousins dropped by and brought a 5-gallon container of water, and it was so encouraging to see so many people helping each other.
My sisters have been getting up every day at 5:00 to cook breakfast for the people working to repair the roads. It was so inspiring to me to see them giving to others in spite of needing to do a lot of work around the property. It really is an amazing joint effort at helping each other!
The stories of neighbors banding together to help each other and even help complete strangers is restoring my faith in humanity. There is so much work to do in these communities, the task just seems so daunting. I just can't even wrap my head around it.
Fair Winds and Following Seas to all those whose ships are moving....be safe!
"Fair Winds and Following Seas" to all of our sailors!
{{{{BNMH}}} to all of their family members!
Prayers for those families affected by the hurricane!
Thank you everyone for sharing!
4kids & JNMnavy ... BNMHs to you and all the sailors on your ship. I have been watching it come and go from the best place around...the Island of the USS Midway Museum which is straight across the bay from the carrier docks. I was volunteering there all morning yesterday, expecting some movement; the Reagan was being pushed in as I left, then yours went soon after. I have seen ships moving many times but there is nothing like seeing the rails manned. My nuke does his best to avoid putting on his uniform, even when it means being the last to disembark. His ship is still in port nearby.
Prayers also for those affected by Helene.
JNMnavymomOH - Wow! I am so happy for you that you got to see his ship head out, but my heart hurts for you because I know you'll miss your Sailor! Here's hoping he has GRAND adventures (and keeps in touch!)
My thoughts and prayers for all those that are affected by the storm. I have seen pictures and videos and my heart breaks.
I trolled YT all day yesterday waiting to see my son's ship leave SD. I didn't get anything done all day, watching the live feed and reading the comments. I didn't want to miss it. Heard lots of radio traffic, though. And then I see the Whites line the flight deck at 3pm their time, 6pm my time. I was so proud to see that his journey to Japan has officially began. I also cried because there is just a different feeling knowing that he is no longer on US soil. He says life on the ship isn't that bad, but we will see when its weeks on end, not just days. He turned 21 while out to sea, but got to enjoy a few drinks with a couple of buddies when they got back to land last week. I have the picture, but can't remember their names.
Have a great night! Little Oliver is so cute!
My nephew and his family live right outside of Asheville and they said the devastation is heartbreaking. He said the amount of rain they received was unbelievable. Continued prayers for all.
And yes, lil Oliver is adorable (although I am just a little biased, lol!).
