(Sherrill, NY –Oct. 2014) I’m United States Navy Corpsman Diana, and I am forward deployed aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Mitscher (DDG 57), and defending America in the Mediterranean Sea.
I’m from Sherrill, and I want to wish our Navy a happy 239th birthday Oct 13; thank you very much to all those sailors who have served and continue to serve, and thanks to all Sherrill-area residents who support the U.S. Navy.
