We hope to use their umbrella for future reunions when possible.
It removes ALL the work and leaves ALL the fun and more.
The TIN CAN SAILORS annual meeting gave our little ship a chance to spread some Irish Cheer and enjoy much in return. I am sending you some of the ship crests on notepads and sticky notes (Irish Blessings) so you can have ways to extend the message.
We hope to send you the extension plaque for our host pubs soon. Yours is only the second in what will be a long tradition, I am sure. McGuire's in Pensacola was the first gracious host where our tradition began in 2016.
"Place your hand on the plaque and say a prayer for a veteran. You will receive an Irish Blessing by association with Fr. Joseph O'Callahan (MOH)." (we encourage a prayer for anyone ... especially first responders, health care workers, and of course friends and family)
And soon you can give them a small reminder of the blessing -- with the small note sheets.
Have fun with them and thank you again for hosting our official Ship's Plaque . We feel our ship and namesake are in an honored place at Molly Maguire's. It means a lot to us and it honors Fr. O'Callahan.
If you have any video or digital photos from the evening you can share with us, we would love to put them in our ship's news pages online and our facebook pages. (vic@buzzcreek.com)
I believe the TIN CAN SAILORS (destroyers.org) also captured many photos which we will encourage to be shared with you (and us) as well. You are welcome to whatever photos we managed to acquire that night. IT was a tremendous evening for us and for some - quite meaningful.
Thank you TIN CAN SAILORS and I.C. Smith too for giving us the plaque that you found.
