53 Years ago today (18 July 1972) [View all]

I raised my right hand and joined the Navy

President John F. Kennedy ended his speech at the US Naval Academy
On 01 August 1963 with this sentence.

Any Man who may be asked in this century
What he has done to make his life worthwhile
Can respond with a Great Deal of Pride and Satisfaction

I SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY

Roger that Shipmate Kennedy

My Enlistment Oath will still be in effect long after I’m Gone

I always look forward to a little positive thinking on this day
