On July 3, 2013, I joined several other families of Navy personnel on a destroyer in San Diego Harbor, for Family Day. My son is stationed on this vessel, and the ship and crew will be underway, on various assignments, throughout the summer and fall, so this was my best opportunity to visit him for the foreseeable future.
Here are some scenes from that day, occurring as it did as a respite from a rather tumultuous time here at home.
Cherish family. Sometimes, they are all you have in this world.
