Shipmates, it is midnight EST and the USSVI election is over. While the final election results are unknown at this writing, it is clear that damage has been done to USSVI through all the emailed thunderbolts blasted through the ether. We all love this organization and value what it does to perpetuate the memory of all those fine young submarine men who now repose on the ocean floor.  Let the healing begin and remember that what binds us together is far more important than what drives us apart. I believe this will be a very close contest for NC to say the least, and as I await the election results let me say that I willingly accept the choice of our voting membership.
