10 Years On

When setting up a blog post this morning, I was reminded that this blog is now over 10 years old.

Let me thank Blogger for letting us do this for free, my younger daughter for getting "Eaglespeak.us" for me as a gift, for the other 3 kids (who include a pair of Navy officers) for their support and to my very patient wife who has tolerated me doing "blog stuff" at odd hours and in odd places over the last 3600+ days.

And, of course, thanks to those of you who have taken the time to visit these pages. Who knew when that first post was put up way back when, what doors would be opened and what fun this has turned out to be?

I am humbled by the kind attention my ramblings have received.

My plan for the future is to continue to discuss the importance of international maritime security and to stress the importance of a strong Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard as part of the U.S. national security team. As you may notice, I occasionally chase after other shiny objects.

Thanks for dropping by.
