Honor
Ceremony & Naval Station Norfolk Tour
:
The Saturday tour to Naval Station
Norfolk started with a ceremony to honor those of our shipmates that we have learned had passed away since the last reunion.
The ceremony was held in the Naval Station Norfolk Chapel and was conducted by the Association Chaplin,
Mark Rucker. Shipmate Charlie Ross assisted Mark and read one of the poems he had written.
At the conclusion, the group boarded the buses for a tour of the Naval Station. For security reasons,
photo-ops was severely restricted. After the tour of the base, the group headed for the Chief Petty Officer's Club
for lunch. There was a little delay in getting into the club, but the wait was worth it. Good food and
pleasant atmosphere. After lunch, the group boarded the buses and headed for a tour of Norfolk and the
General MacArthur Memorial. |
