| The
most exciting thing I've done was when we were
- I was on the ship, on the Blue Ridge. We went
down to Sydney, Australia. Went down for their
75th anniversary and just getting off the ship,
being in our uniform, our dress blues, watching
the faces of the kids down there. We got off the
ship. They came up and greeted us because it's
probably been a while since they seen American
faces down there actually in person. They thought
we were movie stars or something like that, but
it was really [exciting] to just bring a smile
to them on their faces and stuff. And
I get involved with like different things off
the ship, you know. Go out there, help the needy
and we painted a schoolhouse for these children
over there in Australia when we was down there
and once we finished, they came around, gave us
water and sandwiches and stuff. And just seeing
the faces-- their faces light up when we painted
their playground equipment and everything, that
was awesome.
I was in awe. |
