This is just a brief recap of my experience aboard the USS Nimitz as a Distinguished Visitor (DV). Of course a full blog post, photos, and videos will follow, but I just had to express my gratitude and euphoria in the moment.

Seriously, this was the most incredible experience of my life, and words can’t express how grateful I am to the US Navy, LCDR Jason Salata, LTJG David Bennett, Guy Kawasaki, Dennis Hall, all the amazing bloggers (who I now consider friends), “Freakshow,” “Finch,” “Booger,” and all the other men and women who not only made this experience possible, but remarkable. Oh and I apologize for the sappy tears at the end. :)
