It was GREAT to be out with the crew once again. We tolled the bells for those submarines and submariners lost while serving this great nation. Let us not forget all those who gave their life in the line of duty so that we may enjoy our freedoms.

WOW, that is all I can say.

A few of us stayed after the meeting for some socialization and adult beverages. When all of a sudden in comes Frank Lambiase and his nephew Gene. Frank was a WWII tank commander serving in the 13th armored division, 3rd battalion, under General Patton. Frank recently celebrated his 97th year and lives in New Castle. It was an HONOR to speak with Frank. We extended an invitation to Frank to attend our Christmas celebration with hopes that he can share his stories and talk to some fellow WWII veterans.

It was great to meet up with the Captain and crew of the USS Pittsburgh at Lot 17
