Hi Everyone!

I need some help. I met the "Masters of Arms" aboard the ship during commissioning week and would like to write a Thank you note. I wrote his name on a slip of paper and we, women, know what happens to those pieces of paper that go to the abysmal bottom of our bags-LOL! I guess I could just put his title on the envelop, but how tacky is that?

If anyone knows his name or how I can get it, please email me privately to my email account: Suzan951@aol.com.

Thank y'all!

you are welcome. I have a fabulous crew and couldn't do without their help! Dori has the sailor on the ship and just wanted 1 special pillowcase for him. Well, her heart desire has turned into a huge blessing for all the ship's personnel.
So she gets the credit, I am just the "nut" who said let's do them all. ahahl.

Hey moms, I would like to point out the pillowcase that I am holding in my profile picture. I made this one, but my friend Pat in VA (not a Navy mom) made 32 like that. And Lyn embroidered the ship number on them.
We would like to give these to the children of N4M, but you need to sign up with Dori in the above thread. She is the reason that we are even doing the NY.
7 are spoken for, but if you would like one of these for your child, please follow her instructions.
ALL th pillowcases are special, some just have alittle more fancy detailing on them. We are in the process of gathering them in VA.

Finally got a chance to upload a few photos from the New York trip & commissioning on my page. So glad I was able to be there. Praying for all those who have pain from 9/11 experiences. "Strength forged through sacrifice, never forget."

LeAnna, you may not have noticed the discussion group above that tells about the pillowcases that have been made for the crew of the USS New York. In it, I request that people in this group who have loved ones (son, daughter, spouse, etc.) to please make me a friend with the message, "I'm a NY Mom." Please do so.

So far only five have done so and I know there are more on this list who qualify.

I've posted some of the pictures from New York. Melinda, I wish that we could have stayed longer too, but I was sooo tired when I got home.

We had to leave early Sunday morning. The flight was fine, but I wish we could have stayed longer! I'll definitely go back to New York whenever I get a chance.

Helene, New York was wonderful and everyone was so nice. Thanks for your hospitality!! I posted some pictures from the commissioning on my page and I'll post some more later. They're not great but you can get a sense of what a great ceremony it was!
