Jim/Kathy Mattrella's Friends

About me:: We are the proud parents of a United States Naval Academy Midshipman. Our only experiance and knowledge of the NAVY is the fact that our fathers each served in WWII. We have gained a wealth of knowledge in the 3 years since our daughter was chosen to attend the USNA, and continue to learn more each and every day.---BEAT ARMY!

I was the proudest of my child when:: When she made the decision to attend the USNA over Embry-Riddle and FIT.

When my son/daughter first spoke about joining the service I:: Was proud, Encouraged him/her

As a new Navy mom, the most important thing I learned was:: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE WHEN YOU ARE PART OF THE NAVY FAMILY! People worldwide will come to your aid, day or night, to do anything and everything to help and support.

My son/daughter is currently in the service or retired, and now I believe:: Our relationship has grown stronger, This was a maturing experience, The Navy has a lot to offer, This was the best decision he/she could have made
