When I was 13, the family took a trip to Norfolk, Va. That same week, some Navy unit had just come home from its deployment. There must've been at least 400 sailors, all in their dress whites.
I looked at my mother, and I told her: “When I'm old enough, I'm going to join the Navy and defend our country.”
For years, I couldn't stop thinking about that one sentence.
I didn't exactly know what I meant at the time, but as I grew older and thought about it, I came to realize what I'd been given.
