Enjoying The Navy Tributes In San Diego (30 Years Later)


Yes, I'm the guy to the far right in this 1981 picture of a nerdy gang of Electronic Technicians about the USS Samuel Gompers AD 37! It was quite a refreshing homecoming attending the 2011 FileMaker Developer Conference in San Diego last week and I tried to look up many of my old haunts. It was so cool to see how proudly San Diego is showing off its Navy roots in the form of an aircraft carrier available for tourists to explore / dine on and lots of amazing artwork!



The USS Midway, I didn't get a chance to explore her on this visit!



Tribute to the USS San Diego.





Any sailor that has been deployed is likely to have had an image in their minds just like this statues portrays while pulling into port. This thing is absolutely amazing!
