Credit to @happymarcy : Sharing this in support of Anastasia and Samantha Latino. John Latino was not only an amazing father, but he was an astounding talent, a man of faith, and a proud Navy veteran on the USS Independence. John had a heart of gold. He was one of the kindest and most generous men you could ever meet. He would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. And he instilled this generosity in his daughters as well. When I suffered tremendous losses in my life the Latino family was always there to help and support me in any way they could. When I couldn’t ask for help, they generously offered their assistance. They’ve gone above and beyond for myself and many others. And now it’s their turn to be the recipients of our love and support. This is a tremendous loss for their family and it is so very difficult to ask for support when you are in the process of grieving. I don’t want them to have to worry about how they’re going to take care of the final expenses or how they’re going to get their father home to Tennessee. I want them to know just how much John meant to us all. How much they mean to us all. And how they’re not alone. Any little bit helps. If you are not in a position to donate please light a candle and say a prayer for John and his girls. May your prayers and support comfort them during this difficult time. Thank you for your time. Memorial services will be held in Tennessee. Date TBD.

4/2/2020- Today, we hear that American sailors on aircraft carriers are having to battle the #covid and #socialdistancing is impossible. On this day in 1993, I met my first home in #Japan, an #aircraftcarrier #ussindependence. The time in #Japan on the #Indy forever changed my life. This is a picture from that time. I might have been mad about something. (at U.S. Naval Base Yokosuka, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gGoihDRvh/?igshid=11nxlx6cbgyk5

Top secret footage that I wasn’t supposed to take. Apparently there are certain places you cannot film. It can’t be too secret though because they let tons of people in there. #topsecret #ussindependence #fleetweek #fleetweek2019 #portland #seriouslythough (at USS Independence) https://www.instagram.com/p/BygnPtopgbG/?igshid=19lx6bq6a6hj7

1/20/2019- Birthday month pictures of the past: In Dubai, United Arab Emirates on liberty around my 21st birthday with a camel. Next, in Perth, Western Australia enjoying the summer weather posing with an Australia Day banner a few days before my 24th birthday. Australia Day is 1/20. Last, after my 24th birthday in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia at the Opera House. We rarely wore our Working White uniforms off the ship. In Australia, the women had a strong appreciation for men in uniform. #birthday #oldphotos #navydays #ussindependence #ussvalleyforge #dubai #unitedarabemirates #uae #perth #westernaustralia #australiaday #sydney #newsouthwales #australia #operahouse #workingwhites #liberty #usnavy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs29-tUgV_r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wegf0s2113r6

1/19/2019- 25 years ago this month, the Indy was in and out of Dubai, UAE. Between these two stops, I turned 21. Seeing the oil wells on fire while on Operation Southern Watch on my 21st birthday is still something that I will never forget. This picture was taken from the 35 anniversary cruise book. #ussindependence #dubai #uae #turning21 #oilwells #operationsouthernwatch (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs16buDg8RR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=39kvf57ypi9r
