Sailors from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and the Navy Operational Support Center in Wilmington, N.C., gather together to celebrate the U.S. Navy’s 235th birthday at the Sheraton Oceanfront Hotel in Atlantic Beach, N.C., Oct. 9. The night’s theme, “transcending through time,” was further exemplified as the youngest sailors interacted with the oldest veterans on this special occasion.
