It was a Great Navy Day. The temperature was 74 degrees on a beautiful sunny day. A bit hot but
I loved it. The ceremony was unorthodox for the Navy. Usually it's just speakers, but this time they had preformers. The USO, Rebecca Lynn, Charlie Daniels (he wrote a song for the Ship) and a Fireman from New York who sang the National Athem plus another song at the end of the ceremony. He was fabulous, I could have listen to him all day. They didn't have the normal party afterwards (too many people, 4000+) but that didn't keep us from partying. A bunch of contractors and Gov't workers spent the evening and night in New Olreans painting the town red. Here's a link to the ship: http://www.ussnewyork.com/wordpress/
