Today's Blog is dedicated to my father, a retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer and all my friends either active duty or retired Navy. I grew up in a Navy town and come from a Navy family so the ocean and pride in our military is in my blood. Today's image is of the Lone Sailor statue at Wisconsin Square in Norfolk, Va. This exact replica of the original statue, which stands at the Navy Memorial in Washington DC, is located right next to the museum ship USS Wisconsin and overlooks that famous battleship. Behind the Lone Sailor is a memorial to Norfolk based ships that have suffered an event since WWII that resulted in a significant loss of life. Included in the memorial are such ships as the USS Cole, the USS Newport News, and the USS Liberty.
