Welcoming 2,000 Navy Vets
The site is actually producing more revenue from the advertising monthly now than it costs (whew!) so I'm looking forward to this year to see how we can move forward and begin to give back to Navy Vets. Our goal has always (and still i… Continue

Islamic Terrorists Strike Our Homeland Again at Fort Hood
I don't give a crap if the killer in question was an Army Officer nor whether or not he was American. This Islamic Terrorist screamed the takbir and commenced to killing as many unarmed Americans as he could.
That's terrorism.
It happened here.
Again.
If this country had a single Christian shoot and kill someone in the name of God, we'd see their names and a series of special reports on… Continue

USS New York
Shield: Dark blue and gold, the colors traditionally associated with the Navy, represent the sea and excellence. The red is for sacrifice and valor and the white recalls purity of purpose. The gray chevron and two vertical bars represent the bow of LPD 21 and the Twin Towers, respectively. They are… Continue Posted on November 7, 2009 at 11:00am — 1 Comment
Nearing 1,000 US Navy Vets
Now that clicks on ads are surpassing the cost of the site, we've hired an attorney that specializes in online businesses. David Alerding will be retained to make NavyVets.com NavyVets, LLC - a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation.
This is exciting because we'll be the only online website for US Navy Vets that will be 100% charitable - and give all profits back to V… Continue

Out to Sea... Perhaps!
As soon as everyone caught wind that I didn't have orders in Orlando, I was shipped out within a couple of weeks to the USS Coontz DDG-40 up in Norfolk, Virginia. The USS Coontz had quite an illustrious career but it was quickly coming to a close.
The Coontz just returned from a Med Cruise with the USS Stark. Som… Continue

- I was on active duty, but Stateside, during the Vietnam period. I can't claim to be a veteran, just a Vietnam era vet. I edited my profile to reflect this. Thanks. OD

coy smith said… - Thanks for the welcome, douglas, and I appreciate the opportunity to chat with other veterans such as yourself. Hopefully, Christmas and the new year will bring renewed hope and prosperity for us all. I am now a retired communications worker and living again in my hometown of coolidge, az. I spent the last 35 years in northern az, place called prescott, az. It is hard to believe that it has been almost 41 years since my service in the Navy. Thanks again for allowing me to comment on your website and hope to hear from any and everyone soon. Merry Christmas and happy new year to all!!!

CHARLES W HORTON JR said… - Thank you for your communication. No-no problems here. Finally I have been settled with where I want to work with the internet out of. Some other things in life had to come through. Pretty soon I will have a PC finally to communicate out of. It has been hard to relocate some of my old buddies/shipmates. I also had to make myself narrow my list down quite a bit with what I really like to do and really need to keep. Hopefully I answered your question.
