  • God bless all our military heroes, past, present and future. Tomorrow is their day set aside to honor these brave men and woman who risked their lives for our country.

  • Thanks to all who helped with this video composition.

    We will never really know what caused this tragic explosion, but the XO's "Event" explanation is the best I've heard in 37yrs.

    GodSpeed and Rest in Peace, Captian Leverone. You done good.

  • Wow! HD and Full Screen is the only way to watch this one. Very Touching.
