"Three More Years: To Protect And To Defend"

While most young men would be out having fun on a nice warm Sunday afternoon in New York City, Christopher Jerome of Harrisburg, Va., was being sworn in for another three years in the Navy by Lt. Carl Gerhard. The swearing in took place in front of thousands of tourists, local and other navy men in the heart of Times Square. When asked why he decided to re-enlist, Jerome said, "because my job is the best job in the world". Although he isn't married, he said there is someone special in his life and then turned and gave a smile to a young lady standing nearby _________________ "God Bless America!"
