Keith and I went to Norfolk to see our great friend, Jason. He is in the Navy and stationed on the USS Cole. We didn't know that was the ship he was on when we went down there but we were excited to be able to tour it.
It is a big dang ship. They have a hallway they call the Hall of Heroes and there is a gold star on the floor for each of the people that died from the terrorist attack on the ship. Jason brought us to exactly where it happened and I got chills.
Keith was like a big kid on this ship and was interested in every little thing. Here are he and Jason next to one of the big guns on the front of the ship.
This is Jason in his office. He is an Engineer on the ship and fixes everything from the air conditioner to the ice cream machine. We are so proud of Jason and admire him so much. It was great to see him again and hopefully it won't be three years before we see him again.
