Gift from Navy

Noah got an incredible graduation gift from Captain Charles Rock, commanding officer at Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo Japan, Barry Kelso of Boise, and Phil Eakins, Sasebo Japan.  A box arrived from Sasebo containing a Wake Island flag and other items.  The flag was flown at the Navy Base in Sasebo on May 28, 2014.  We are very grateful for Barry's thoughtfulness and the efforts Captain Rock and Phil for arranging for this and mailing it to Noah.  It is a treasure.
