We will have our Ship's Bell for the Memorial Service

EM2 Almando Cecchi has taken the time and effort to get us pictures and start the ball rolling to have the bell in San Diego.  I have contacted Command Master Chief, Terry R. Delacruz, CSCM at the Navy Operational Support Center there in San Jose and spoke with him today.  He has confirmed that we can borrow the bell.  Mike Halderson, who lives in Chico, will pick up the bell on his way to San Diego and will transport it back to the Center afterward.

Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the pictures, below:
