Lieutenant Clarence S. Tang actually followed the footsteps of his forefather. Mama's father was a Major of some sort in the National Chinese Army.
Look at this graduating class, a hundred and some strong, variously ranked naval officers. Sooner or later, the dental corps, to which Clarence belongs, will be out serving their country but through healing rather than killing.
Attention!!! Do you know which one is Lieutenant Tang?
At ease!! My fellow officers.
Do they ever smile? - A bunch of stoned-face people!
This is quite a show, marching of the colors. Wish you were there. Clarence is not among them.
A pretty good speaker, this Naval Medical Services Corps Chief, giving encouragement to the graduates.
All is well, all is well............
A post with the proud family.
A post with the proud parents.
Look at the wife of a military man.
After the graduation ceremony, the family went for a train ride in the Newport, RI area.
While on board the train we were told that these two aircraft carriers will be destroyed in the very near future. A keepsake photo must be taken.
This is the two generations of Tang women.
Train ride is fun. But what is even more fun is eating pizza on the train! There is absolutely no comparison.
I agree, let me add more stuff for taste.
Yep, pizza is good. I can eat it all up by myself.
What about me? Don't I get anything?
A statue near the Newport, RI harbor. Guess what they are?
According to the wise woman, this is not the safest lookout for children - no middle rail! And she is right. Luckily, no one falls in. Otherwise the navy man will be put to the test.
Look at the speed boat with the Canadian flag on it. Other than Annie and Clarence, we all hold dual citizenship of US and Canada. We should salute to the Canadian flag.
Lieutennant Tang is a generous person. He feels extra generous today. He treats us to a great dinner to celebrate his graduation from the Officer Development School.
It looks like salmon on his plate.
Guess what, mom has scallops with linguini. Yumm. . . .y!

looks like a great trip to RI!
I forgot that you had made a new post! What a great summary of your trip!
Sorry girls, we didn't even send you a postcard, did we? We had thought of it. The thought counts. Doesn't it?
