Captain Wang invited us to the US Navy Ball at the W Sentosa.  Great party, but more importantly, it reminds us of the significance of being an American citizen - we are grateful that our Armed Forces keeps us safe.  "Us" being my family and friends in one sense, but also in the greater meaning of making the world a safer place.  The Admiral reminded us that 70% of the world is water, 80% of the world's population lives near a shore, and 90% of the world trade is plied over the ocean trade routes, kept open and safe by the US Navy.
