I appreciate that this was meant to entertain and it did. It also brought tears to my eyes thinking of my parents. My Dad served in subs in the South Pacific early in WW II, then in DDE's in the North Atlantic. My Mom built the Victory ships that delivered supplies to the front. And, my paternal Grandmother built Vultee trainers for pilot training.
What you hated then was the obnoxious life style created by having to subordinate your life to some knuckle head individual ... years later your joy comes from recognizing the achievements you accomplished 😊while serving this Nation. I went through the same feelings, and I am now one hell of a proud veteran who raise the american flag way up high for me and all veterans of all the service branches. Thank you for your service and may God Almighty keep adding joy, good health, and many years of life to your soul! Be proud to be an American!

My Dad & my brother were both in the Navy. So right after the Star-Spangled Banner & the Marine Corps hymn, this is my 3rd favorite song. Fair winds to all bluejackets everywhere.
As a Canadian of Filipino descent and with a paternal great uncle missing in action during the Battle of Bataan, I say thank you to the US Navy for helping liberate the Philippines. Anchors Away!

My dad was in the Navy, too. He was a biomedical repair technician. That meant that he repaired anything in the base hospital (or on the hospital ship), anything from a light switch to an x-ray machine to the CO's TV. Since he was in the Navy, we moved around a lot: Boston, Denver, Honolulu, San Francisco, Albany (Georgia), and Charleston (where he retired). While we were in SF, he served on the hospital ship, the USS Hope (Vietnam during the war), and then Antarctica. I joined the Navy, too, as a nuclear power engineer and electronics tech. I was stationed in Orlando, Chicago, Charleston aboard the USS Compass Island (and we visited the Bermuda Triangle, Nova Scotia, crossed the Arctic Circle, sailed through the North Sea, Sweden, the Netherlands, went through a hurricane off the coast of Ireland, England, and Spain), Saratoga Springs (NY), and New Haven (CT). My dad enjoyed his time in the Navy. Me? Not so much. But it was definitely an experience, and the science, math, and electronics I learned helped me later as a teacher.
I watched this on Memorial Day weekend and it really put me in the spirit to remember all those sailors who died far from home in World War II. Your video is a joyous celebration of Navy life, but it is set on that great carrier from the World War II era and just seemed like an appropriate video for our most somber holiday. Thanks for devoting your great talent to making it.
It's been a while since I watched this video the first few times. Watching it now still fills me with strong emotions and memories of my parents. When I saw Dad in his "Crackerjack" uniform, I thought he looked like John Wayne. Thanks again for a wonderful reminder of my parents generation and for a beautiful short film. Well done!
fact: the ribbon bar she is wearing at 1:24 are the ships battle honors and service awards from 1943-1970. Also the China Service ribbon takes precedence of the American campaign and Asiatic campaign medals because the award was established first in July 1942 a four months before those medals where created originally for service with the USN USMC and USCG July 1937 to 7 September 1939 and later for service between 2 September 1945 to 1 April 1957 which hornet had participated in operations around Taiwan and Hannin island.
I served in the Navy from 1969 to 1973. The best part was going out to sea. I loved the uniform. I'm glad I served. My dad was one of the first C.B.'s in 1942. I'm very proud of that.

My dad, USMC, was onboard the USS NEW ORLEANS during the battle of Tassafaronga. He was slightly injured. The battle took place five months before I was born.
Everyone in our family got a music box for their birthday. I believe my oldest brother got this song with a Navy bear on it from my Grandpa on my Fathers side (Both Grandparents fought in the war). It brings back such rich memories, this song was played along-side "The Candy Man Can" on very special occasions. @AvaMarinos 's performance is electric here.
Served for 12 yrs as a Airedale (parachute rigger) from 1988 till 2000, My first command was the legendary Va-35 Black Panthers, I was there during they're decommissioning, and served in in both desert storm and shield.
I spent 25 years walking the decks of USN warships before I retired. Signalman rate. Made SMC and then the USN did away with the SM rate and I was converted to QMC. If I could I would do it all over again. There is NOTHING quite like being at sea.
Production value was high, editing and audio were high quality. Performace wasn't the worst, but it could have been better. E-4 to E-6, wearing 3 World War 2 awards, and several Vietnam campaign awards, and a recruiting duty ribbon, but her shirt came untucked during the tap dancing. Wearing the Ruptured Duck and an antiquated Air Crew pin show it's supposed to be historical uniform, but the ribbons are all over the place with them not all being WWII era.
Thanks for watching. The uniform is from a former Aviation Machinist’s Mate that served onboard the Hornet from late WW2 until early Vietnam. The Combat Aircrew Wings and Ruptured Duck are correct for this uniform. You are the first to find our ribbon rack “Easter Egg” (minute 01:24). They represent the awards for the USS Hornet from 1943-1970. Precedence of awards is from top to bottom, left to right: Top Row: Presidential Unit Citation / Meritorious Unit Commendation (3) 2nd Row: China Service Medal (extended) / American Campaign Medal / Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (8) 3rd Row: World War II Victory Medal / Navy Occupation Service Medal ("Europe" clasp) / National Defense Service Medal (2) 4th Row: Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (2) / Vietnam Service Medal (7) / Philippine Presidential Unit Citation 5th Row: Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Citation (Gallantry Cross Medal with Palm) / Philippine Liberation Medal (2) / Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal

My Dad was on the (2nd) Wasp in WW-2. I remember him singing this when I was in grade school. R.I.P. Dad.

She was a E4 and quickly became a E6 near the end. . .
Great catch! She was promoted after that stand-out singing! I hear she's a Master Chief after that tap number.
That’s what a little song and dance will do for ya! 👏🏽😂
That's the new rank system, denotes IQ.
Maybe the E6 is her older sister…
She was a high school senior when she did this for The Hornet Museum I believe.
I got out of the navy just as they were phasing out the dungaree and bell bottoms. man that brought back memories!
The dungaree uniform was by far the best uniform.
@@jimwjohnq.public Well I had a problem that the toe of my boondocker kept hooking the bell bottom. It made me stumble once or twice.
You ain't kidding. Brought back a LOT of memories.
Yeah, but I bet NOBODY looked like her in those dungarees!
@@melvingeloneck3344 No they did not.
I remember back in the navy I always hated this song but hearing her sing it brings a little joy to it. She has a beautiful voice.

As we used to say, "Join the NAVY and ride the WAVES" 😉
The new sailors don’t even know what dungarees are
Probably have never dragged a pair over the side on a heaving line either , man those dungarees would sme
Im sure the generation of sailors before you thought the exact same thing

The dungarees were always my fave to wear and the most comfortable!

Yeah, that was fun. I don't know whose uniform she was wearing for the tap dance but Respect for that. Somebody had a very noteworthy career.
Those are the ribbons form the life of the USS Hornet on active service, not of just one individual.
Go Navy!!!
That was fun! Thanks for doing this!
Good Job Ava!
