It’s that time of year…Navy Birthday Ball! And thanks to the 7th wonder
of the modern fashion world—Spanks—I will be looking svelte in my ball gown
this weekend. The United States Navy will be celebrating its 236th birthday,
but it’s not all one big drinking/dining/dancing party. The Navy Ball, as well
as many other official military dining events throughout the year, serve as a
reminder to the POWs and MIAs who yet to return home. This is done through the
Missing Man POW/MIA table set at the front of the room.
