: I remember the Brewton's first Christmas. Long Beach was her home port.
: While she is no longer in our Navy, our fellow sailor's still serve aboard the great ships of our nation.
: During this season of Christmas, may those of us who no longer "go out to sea", pause for a moment and say a quick prayer for our men and women in uniform, deployed at sea, standing watch on foreign soil, in harm's way, that they may arrive safe at home soon.
: From an old salt, turn soldier (Army chaplain) who still has a place in his heart for sailor's.
