 So today at the ceremony we had the mayor, Admiral Burke, Captain Colombo, the C.O. of the USS Mount Whitney myself, about 10 sailors from my crew, and we were there to support the remembrance of 19 commandos that were killed trying to infiltrate into the El Samir the day before the main landing force landed, and apparently they were ambushed by a German defense force and all killed there. This is without question the coolest tour I've ever had in the Navy as far as being able to pull into great ports and wave the flag and really get to know some of the great partner nations that the U.S. interacts with and is partners with, and it's just a great experience and I'm loving it. This is only my third month on board and I can't wait to see what happens next month, you know.
