In recognition of the tie between our class year and the ship's hull number, the Flower Children paid for and presented two class crest plaques to the USS HARRY S TRUMAN (CVN-75).  One plaque is for the officers, to be posted in the wardroom, and the other is for the crew, to be posted in a location to be determined by them. 

Additionally, the ship buried the remains of our classmate Walt Joller (killed in a tragic car accident in San Diego) at sea a couple of months ago, as Walt was a mentor to the then-CO, CAPT Herm Shelanski.  You can see some pictures of that service on easels to the right of the podium at our plaque presentation ceremony, and we said a prayer for Walt as part of our ceremony.  One other item of note is that the senior officer participating in this event was our classmate ADM Jon Greenert who is

, Fleet Forces Command (used to be called CINCLANTFLT), under whose command TRUMAN falls.
