One of my members was Commissioned today as a U.S. Navy Lt. (03). He is a Clinical Psychologist. We were shuttled at 7:00 AM to the Arizona Memorial before it was open to the public, and had 1/2 hour of private time on the memorial for the ceremony. It was absolutely gorgeous today, and such a wonderful place for the event -- a really sacred place to the Navy.

It was the first time I had ever been to the Arizona when it was not packed with tourists. He was sworn into the Navy by his father, a Commander USN (Retired), and I was privileged to pray for him.

Amazing.

I was privileged to visit the Arizona memorial with my father, who is a war veteran. I was almost brought to tears when I saw him privately stand at attention and salute the wall containing the names of all those who perished aboard.

The Arizona was one of the most memorable experiences of my life .....and I have been a few places.

I love the serenity of that whole area. To lose that would be criminal.

That's awesome.....I look forward to a possible Naval Commission one day. I'm a Marine Corps veteran and almost done with my B.S. in Management.....I've already started applying at the Church of God Theological Seminary in Cleveland and Temple Baptist Seminary in Chattanooga.

Out Chaplain endorser for the COGOP is a local pastor friend of mine and wants me to join the Navy as a Chaplain for our church. We only have one Naval Chaplain and he has been in for many years. Also, as a Naval Chaplain I could serve with Marines.

My main obstacle is weight...

Mike and Roxanne must be some proud parents. Way to go!!!
