I was at the Yankee game last night, and, as it is fleet week, there were hundreds of Marines and Sailors on hand. It was nice to see 45,000 fans giving them ovations every time their photos were flashed up on the scoreboard. I am glad to see that the whole crowd was showing appreciation to our servicemen, and I hope we all remember vets like Captain Claggett this weekend.
