Hi Anthony- We didn’t have a Navy ship this year and it certainly felt different over the 4th. It’s always a great time when sailors are here! Thanks for commenting-

I was on Hawes when we visited Eastport in 1999. It was a great few days and one of many fond memories I have of my 4 years on that ship.

Thanks for stopping by, Helen. You must be very proud of your son and all the men and women on the Hawes.
We enjoy hosting them and they had a great time here; hopefully they can return again soon!

My son was there with the USS HAWES. I’m glad the town of Eastport welcomed our sailors and had a wonderful July 4, 2008. I live in Seattle now, but am a born Yankee and I remember very special July 4ths as a child; I only hope many fond memories were made last year with the Hawes folks!

I had supper on the Hawes the night of the 4th and I can see why he would miss it, Marla.
