Thank you 7th Fleet

CAPT. Sidney Pobieski, the USS Kitty Hawk's Skipper, after unveiling the plaque at NAF Eagles Nest.

On November 16, CAPT. Sidney Pobieski was at NAF Eagles Nest, home of the Blue Angels, to unveil the plaque offered by the USS Kitty Hawk to mark the Blues participation in this year's Veterans Day celebrations that took place aboard the Battle Cat (see here). A initiative by LCDR. Bambi Baxter, the plaque is set in the Blues award wall inside NAFEN's main building. Attending the simple but meaningful occasion were CAPT.'s Vickie Kühn and Asra Kron, NFDT's CO and XO, LTJG. Matter Blueskind, as Angel 3, and from the Kitty Hawk and 7th Fleet we were pleased to have the unexpected visit of RADM. Yan Aboubakar, who joined CAPT. Pobieski, CDR. Helena Stenvaag, CV-63's XO, and the "culprit" LCDR. Baxter.

 As the plaque was about to be unveiled, CAPT. Pobieski offered these words:
"On behalf of the USS Kitty Hawk and Task Force 77, I would like to present this plaque as an expression of our appreciation for participating in our 2017 Veteran's Day observances, and for the fine work you do in raising Naval Aviation to standards unexceeded anywhere."
Although it is the Navy Flight Demonstration Team's job to fly all over Second Life's grid and attend SL Navy inspired events as the ambassador squadron of the Fleet, we were touched by this singular gesture that, as simple as it was, meant a lot to all the Blues.
The Blue Angels Boss, CAPT. Kühn, expressed our feelings well:
" Thank you Captain Pobieski, on behalf of the Blue Angels I accept this plaque with gratitude, both for the plaque itself and for the opportunity to serve."
Thank you 7th Fleet.

CAPT. Asra Kron
Angel 7
