Hello Angel of Freedom, I just posted that video, hoping that someone might have seen their son. I am sorry that your speakers aren't working. I sometimes find sub videos and I post them in case some one else wants to view them. I really like this Navy for Moms page. I also posted it on Sub Moms, My son is still in Sub School in Groton.

Hi Nesper LaKay Reddick
I don't have sound on my PC right now...speaker problems. I enjoyed seeing this reunion of Sailors and family. I wasn't sure what was meant or who the post at the bottom was directed to. Did you think I did not address our Sailors properly in my comment below or something? Or was something said on the video that I could not hear. I do know they are Sailors and earned the title through rigorous study and training. I hope I did not offend you in any way. Thank you for the video clip. Just wish I could have heard what was said. I did hear from my Sailor son finally. It was good we talked. Bless you!

HI Everyone: I don't pop in often becasue our sailor is on shore duty. I do pray for all of your sailors. Yesterday at Kings Beach, CA (by Lake Tahoe) I was at a church meeting and there was a retired Navy Commander. I thanked him for his service and said that we have a sailor in our family who is a NUKE. He said they are a special bread. I agreed, and said that he doesn't communicte or talk about it much - but Mom prays a lot. He said they can't - but you can keep praying. I just wanted to pass that on - cuz I thought of you all and wanted you to enjoy it. My angel blessings ~~s~~

Yes, it is a great feeling. I can hardly wait until he is able to call me so I can hear his voice again.
