Dallas Bethea, thank you for your command and faithful and honorable service on the USS Gary (FFG-51) as well. Hand salute, Sir!

This is the ship Chris was on when the Cowpen's went to the Persian Gulf. This is the Tiger run home, from Hawaii to San Diego. Family member can join their son on that trip to the home Port. The Capt. Is Dallas Bethea. Thought you might be interested!!!

What a thrill to see this! Makes me proud to be an American. Go Navy, and thank you, Captain Bethea!

The very beginning - that wake - how awesome that would be to waterski?

[@phatsmitty]

That was my ship, those were my shipmates. Dallas was my captain....

That's LEAHY (CG-16) off the far Starboard bow, right?? Correct me if I'm wrong...

[@dallasbethea]

That is USS Leahy coming home from her final deployment before decommissioning.
