I am in our company’s choir and I love it! We have sung several patriotic songs. It’s so cool because we sang first at the Chief’s request…and sang a song we hadn’t prepared, but it turned out well. I think I really started to love being in the choir when we sang “God Bless the USA.” The reason I will always remember and love that song is because when we sang…our Chief and the Senior Chief from the other company had some gear drift—wet eyes. It is interesting, because I have heard that song so many times, but this time was very different because it really meant something. These Chiefs are truly amazing people who have made great sacrifices and I love that even though they have been through so much and seen so much, they still believe in what we are fighting for. After that…I am more inclined to pay closer attention to the lyrics and truly mean every word. It was a very powerful experience…we’ll be singing for the graduation reception (next week) and I’ll see if someone can film us. I’m loving choir, but more importantly, I love that I choose to be in the Navy!!!
