Joyce DiPastena Hi John,

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I wish my mother was alive to ask her about this song and some of the others. She talked often and fondly of her days as a Navy Wave all the years of my life. What great service these women gave to their country! May we always remember and honor them, and seek to be like them in our own love for our country and all she represents that so very many have sacrificed for.
