USS CAMBRIA IN PENSACOLA, FL!



What a fine looking bunch of sailors!!!  

The USS CAMBRIA reunion group met in April in Pensacola, FL for their annual reunion.  And they had a great time!  We heard so many good comments from the group members.  There were a couple of things that happened that made this reunion even more memorable than normal.  Their memorial service was held at Memorial Park in Pensacola, on Saturday.  Participating in the service were members of NATTC Performing Unit from Pensacola Naval Air Station.  They did a superb job, and even better, they came by the banquet Saturday night, just to visit with the attendees!  What an honor it was to have them participate in the reunion!

Also on Saturday, during the tour, the group ate at McGuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola.  There were plenty of off-duty active-duty sailors there for lunch, and the "old" sailors and the "young" sailors had a good time sharing lunch together.  As our group got ready to leave, the young sailors formed a line outside the pub, and shook hands with each of our attendees as they boarded the trolley for the rest of their tour.  Just makes you proud to be an American!!
