The America is gone

This isn't about me it's about my dad. Sad but honorable. USS America was the greatest aircraft carrier that ever sailed and took down many hearts on May 14, 2005. My dad was aboard America on the very first mission as newly commissioned CV66 in May 1964. This was the very first Med Cruise in the summer of 64 France, Italy, Jamaica, Virgin Islands. I got my future name and he had the time of his life up until 1968. Sad day for the Navy and moreso for me Pappy, but also an adventure of a lifetime.
