🎉 Happy Heavenly Birthday to Violet Mary Klotz (aka Mae Clarke) born on this date; August 16th, 1910 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A talented actress who should be remembered for more than just a grapefruit to the face🎭.

☘ Happy 'Heavenly' Birthday to Maureen O'Hara who was born on this date; August 17th, 1920 in the Dublin suburb of Ranelagh, Ireland. Will always be one of my honors to have met her when she was the Grand Marshal of NYC's St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1999🥃🎂.

The service life of a littoral ship was suppose to be 25 years. The USS Freedom (LCS 1) had the longest career with 12 years. The USS Independence (LCS 2) had an 11 year career and the USS Coronado (LCS 4) an 8 year career. What a waste.

The littoral combat ships USS Independence (LCS 2), left, and USS Coronado (LCS 4) are underway in the Pacific Ocean.
