Below are three of the representative responses received re the inspirational patriotic ceremony conducted by 89 year old Navy veteran Marvin Hume @ Sunset Beach in South Jersey for the past 38 years that honors our military. I was surprised that so many people in our group have been there - but please check out the credentials I include for the first two responses & you won't be surprised @ all. Neither I nor the originator of the piece would have asked "who knew?" if we had known. Thanks for all of the responses. Carol & I plan to attend one of the ceremonies in 2011 - hope to see you there.

Oh, this is lovely: we spend 2 weeks every summer in Wildwood Crest, just north of Cape May -- I've been there. And what a wonderful way to go back. God bless this good man.
Thank you, Doug.
---Response #2 from a Navy vet---
Hi Doug,
My Family and I have been attending that ceremony for years! It's always tearful. It's always a good idea to get there a bit early and search for "Cape May Diamonds" and then see the ruins of the concrete ship!
Extraordinary! Thanks for sharing!
