Makes you proud of our military. I am partial to the pic of the B-2 bomber it used to fly over my house when I lived in Knob Noster, MO before a became a newbie Texan last Aug.

Should point out that the F/A 37 is not real. Its fake, from the the movie stealth in 2005.

Rest of the pics are pretty cool though :thumbs2:

One of the lines said you could see all of the ships except for the submarines. How true.

Nobody sees the submarines. And the submariners don't see the sun. They are the silent service. Unseen, unnoticed, and mostly not thought about. My son is a submariner.

May God bless your son and keep him and the other submariners safe.

Submarine Service 12/1972 - 11/1978.

Just a note, the USS New York is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock.

Thank you sir. And thank you for your service. Having been on his boat, I have an inkling about what life on a sub is like. But only the faintest glimpse.
