I am a retired Navy Ordnance Officer (LDO). The tone of this LiveVideo page will be patriotic and will celebrate the military as a whole and the U.S. Navy in particular. I will provide links to videos that military members make themselves and of official releases, including accidents and even some sad and moving videos. Videos that may be graphic in depiction of war will be limited and have to have a meaning to them. I am looking to demonstrate through video and photos the humaness of our military   more...and the extraordinary risks they take in defending our country and all of our freedoms.

I entered the U.S. Navy in 1975 at the end of the Vietnam era where the majority of my enlisted shipmates were draftees. In 22 years of service, I was part of the volunteer force and I witnessed an amazing transformation of our military. The professionalism and dedication is astounding of these very young people. When you meet them, you can't help but be impressed by them.
I hope what I do here will not detract from the honor and thanks they deserve.
God bless our military.
