    I served aboard the USS Kitty Hawk from September 1996 until my retirement in September 1999. I will have great memories of the men and women I served with and my most memorable day would be my retirement ceremony while underway in the Persian Gulf. Fair Winds & Following Seas!

Being a Navybrat I'm even more grateful, for I exsist thanks to my parents meeting during their service (Whidbey island). We're all so lucky to have been protected by KittyHawk. 🇺🇸✌😍

    The generosity of our government, is truly startling. At least when it comes to our tax dollars. This huge ship, that over it's lifetime consumed a billion dollars (or more), has been sold to a ship breaking company for the staggering sum of 1 cent. It always boggles my mind to see how little the people we elect, care about the American people and tax payers, when they so blatantly rub it in our faces. 1 cent?

      I served on-board 91-96. That is the price of freedom buddy. Not only that but it costs more than 1cent to dismantle an aircraft carrier.
