- for those that have not checked out John/s FB page or website, I wanted to post what my daughter Kat wrote on John's FB page after reading his book:
"Senior, thank you for sending me a copy of your book and for the inspiring message you wrote for me. Reading your book was so surreal, especially your recounts of life on board a carrier. It definitely brought back tons of memories. I think my old first class was on the Stennis with you. I'll have to email him and ask. Again, thank you so much and you really are an inspiration. Standing in port watch with you would have been an honor."

When my son first enlisted into the Navy I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to his future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I'm new at this and my hope is that this site will benefit Navy families that follow behind me. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show you support for the Navy. Thank you for your service to this country and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.
