Greetings from SUNNY (ya, don't faint!)Seattle, Washington on this glorious July 21st!
I spotted your posting regarding the Great White Fleet. I have completed participation in the Centennial of The Great White Fleet when the Navy re-docked here in Seattle, exactly 100 years after they arrived the first time. I'd be happy to post up the link to my site complete with the photos of us in historical attire. In exchange, I'd like to ask permission to use the colourful photo rendering of the GWF you have as your opening photo here on the blog. If it is not yours to share, I will have to select something else.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Dear Harritah,
I obtained the images from a History site. Maybe even a Navy site. From my point of view you have my permission to use my Blog in an appropriate manner to honor this historic event.
