My son in law is a graduate of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis.
His brother graduated the US Coast Guard Academy.
In military service other than navy, his other brother graduated West Point, served
two tours in Afghanistan & was awarded the purple heart.
I myself am an army combat veteran who served temporary duty aboard a navy LCU,
so I have a little naval connection.
