"I've spent a few days and nights aboard ships. (I can say that)
Never was it a luxury-liner, or cruise-ship though. (I can say that too) 16-years in MY Navy.(never accepted shore duty; masochism) 30-something countries (many of those more than once), many ships, many
experiences, many good sailors to work with (shipmates) - most of which were even saltier and/or doggier than myself. All-in-all, I've seen much of our tiny world ; literally it is. I
concluded long ago that Dorothy was absolutely correct when she clicked those sweet ruby-red heels together...as there truly is no place like home. Being born an American brings an obligation to keep it free. America -
Love it or Leave it." |
