I've often said I was the "last to know", "no one told me" and "hey you always went to the back of the line if you were a torpedoman, 'cause that's where they sent you anyway." I used to joke that if I had not heard the goat I would have never know the wedding had started. SO, just want to jump out there and wish EVERYONE (qual,skimmer and dink) a Happy 247th Birthday wish for OUR day. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. BZ boatsailors.
