Service Members Visit Boys & Girls Club of Harlem to Educate on War of 1812 Story Number: NNS120523-23 Release Date: 5/23/2012 9:02:00 PM 0 Comments   Font Size: A A A 0 0 By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Katherine Hofman, Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs NEW YORK (NNS) -- Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen visited Fredrick Douglas Academy in Harlem to share their experiences of serving in the maritime services during the kick-off of Fleet Week New York City 2012, May 23. The service members were welcomed by the students with a standing ovation and an introduction by Principal Joseph Gates.  "I want to encourage you to say thank you to the service members and show appreciation for their dedication to this country. As principal, I am deeply honored to have you [service members] in this building. You are the most noble and honorable profession," said Gates.        eu tenho a seguinte fantasia: um desses brinquedos em tubo de bombear o pau, bem gostoso encachado com as bolas pra fora, com um batalhão de caralhos do poder pra chupar e levar desde no rabo até na cara. O tesão só aumentando e sem o estímulo suficiente pra ejacular... no clímax o mais longo tempo possível. The educational assembly was sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem to create an opportunity for giving the children a positive experience. "Quite often we have young people who have family, who have parents, grandparents, great grandparents who have served this country, but don't see the real value that it brings to their lives," said Gisele C. Shorter, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem. "We need to make sure young people honor the service and recognize what it does to the communities, to our larger country, and the value of saying thank you."                             Students were shown the traditional presentation of colors by the U.S. Coast Guard color guard followed by a presentation on the War of 1812 by Operations Specialist Seaman Mallory Chappell, of Carrier Strike Group 10. Wearing a traditional 1812 Navy uniform Chappell provided the historical period piece of the presentation.        Navy Band Northeast ended the presentation treating the students to a rousing jazz music performance. "Young people have to see it to live in a world with possibilities where they imagine themselves as potential members of the armed forces," said Shorter. "We invite young people to step into the world of possibilities to think beyond the immediacy. Step into a world of possibilities, where they start to see things. That comes through one-on-one interaction with adults that are telling their stories," said Shorter.                     Held nearly every year since 1984, Fleet Week New York is the city's celebration of the sea services. Fleet Week New York provides an opportunity for the citizens of New York City and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, first-hand, the latest capabilities of today's maritime services. More than 6,000 service men and women from the U.S. and coalition nations will arrive aboard the ships.                         This year, Fleet Week New York is one of the signature events around the country commemorating OpSail 2012, the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the Star-Spangled Banner.   The commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 is a salute to all Sailors and Marines who fought gallantly in that conflict, who served in all our nation's conflicts since then, and who are defending freedom around the world today.                               For more information, visit the official Fleet Week New York City Web site at www.fleetweeknewyork.com or find "Fleet Week New York" on Facebook.
