Thank you, Gracias, Danke Schoen, Grazie, Merci.
Sailors hear expressions of gratitude in so many forms for so much they do all around the world.
I recall a few such rewarding moments during my Navy career. Anyway, we had pulled into Limon, Costa Rica, during a Caribbean training cruise. We had great liberty in the port city itself. However, some us of got a chance of a lifetime to board a bus and head deep into the Central American countryside to a small town Catholic orphanage. The day adventure was one of charity and community assistance under the Project Handclasp program.
