I was kinda wishing for a phone call today not so much for me but for my wife, being Mother's Day, that would have been the icing on the cake for her, but it never happened. Our son on the last pone call told us that they may not be able to call on Sunday, but we always have that hope that they would be able to. We're looking forward to the next letter or phone call and we are excited for the up coming trip for Graduation. Till next time, A Proud Navy Dad, Marco V.

At this time I would like to wish all the Navy Mom's the Happiest of Mother's Day. Even though our sons and daughters are not with us on this special day and as hard as it is, we as parents need to look at the future for them, and very soon we'll be able to see and talk with them on a more regular basis. For my self I keep looking at the picture of my son and me and remembering the times we had together with the family. It's true they grow up way to fast!
A very Grateful and Proud Navy Dad.

Swag - does anyone know where I can purchase more USS John C. Stennis coins and caps? I gifted all my stuff out to family and friends.

What a wonderful surprise this Sunday, just when I thought our son was not calling, the phone rang, and it was our son. What a great feeling to hear his voice again. He sounded very up beat, we even notice a change in is voice. It's true what they say he won't be the same young man after Graduation. He told us he had passed all of the test so far but he needed to pick up the pace in the mile and half run in under 13 minutes. He's always been into sports so I know he can do it, I have confedence… Continue
