Veteran Salute, and my old ship is hosting Michigan State - UNC Basketball!

I wanted to take a minute to salute and thank our veterans. My heart especially goes out to those who have served over the last ten years.
Although I am a veteran, the sacrifice I made don’t compare what most of them had to do.

I can’t help but to feel a twinge of pride knowing that I’ll be able to see my ship tonight as the USS Carl Vinson hosts the Michigan State – UNC basketball game.
I lived on board for 4 years… I know the crew will love the event.
It’s a well-deserved break, and kudos to those who came up with the idea and executed it.
If you happen to have a minute tonight, it could be worth a look… it’s certainly something you don’t see every day.
