US Navy Life
In “US Navy Life,” episode #252, Meredith Curtis and Laura Nolette continue celebrating America’s 250 Birthday celebration by taking a close look at one military family with gratitude for all our men and women in uniform and their families. We’re looking back over Laura’s father Lew’s navy career. Of course, Lew’s naval service involved his wife and children. The whole family, like other military families, had their share of blessing and challenges. As men and women in America choose to serve in the US military, the whole family is impacted. Thank you to all men and women in uniform and their precious families. God bless the USA. 😊
