Meet Sam here.  Met Sam during my “never pass a garage sale” rule.  Sam served us all twice.  First from 1975 -1979 as an electronics tech on the USS Enterprise CVN 65.  Sam worked on EA6B’s and E6’s both awesome aircraft.  He was a Second Class Petty Officer.  Sam then served us all as a Murray City Police Officer for 25 years.  Thank You Sam for all your years of Service.

Enterprise is one of seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004 is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first deployment under its new Fleet Readiness Plan (FRP). The strike group will conduct a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas Pulse operations. .Official US Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Rob Gaston. .Image released by LT K.R.
