Some really good clips in this one!
US Navy Tribute - Hell Yeah (Music Video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud-at_mpGSU#ws)
Ah, yeah. I'm pretty partial to the Navy. Dad was a SFC from 1943-46, serving on USS Trathen (DD-530), a Fletcher-class destroyer deployed mainly in the South Pacific. The ship participated in many small operations, but also major battles at Kwajalein, Leyte Gulf, and Luzon.
In addition to all the cool stuff in your video, most people don't realize that almost all of our front-line nuclear capability is in the hands of the Navy. The boomers -- nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed missile submarines -- are the way we project that kind of deterrent force these days.
