Awakenings from Then ’til Now allows you to Embrace Your Past, Empower the Present, Enrich Your Future.
Welcome to Awakenings
Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

U.S. Navy Day
Let us not leave this day without recognizing a very important event celebrated throughout America's history. Whether you were already aware of this event or perhaps learning it for the first time, mark it on your calendar to be revisited year after year. Any day, any time is the right time to learn more or remain in support of our military.
October 27 is...
U.S. Navy Day
The United States Navy (USN) is the naval
warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the
seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is
currently the largest, most powerful navy in the world, with the highest
combined battle fleet tonnage. The U.S. Navy has the world’s largest
aircraft carrier fleet, with ten in service, four in the reserve
fleet and three new class carriers under construction. The service has
over 300,000 personnel on active duty and more than 100,000 in the Navy
Reserve. It has 272 deploy-able combat ships and more than 3,700
aircraft in active service as of September 2015.
On this day in 2014, Awakenings posted Honor, Courage, Commitment, the celebration of U.S. Navy Day. Here we are a year later with celebration still occurring on this day as it has since October 27, 1949. Part of the earlier post is below. For the complete post, click HERE.
The
American Flag and Navy Flag are flying honorably at the grave site of
my dad.
He served in the Navy and was on active duty during World War
II at Iwo Jima.
An honorable salute is also extended on this day to my husband, Jim, who is a U.S. Navy veteran. Thank you for your service, support and dedication to America. A humble recognition but from the heart!
