My son had I-Day in 2017. My parents drove from California to Annapolis to be there for him (My Father was a retired Navy Captain-Chaplain, in the Reserves). He wore his UNIFORM with so much Pride. Yes, it had to be altered. My dad was a BIG influence on my son, his only grandson, to apply for USNA. I have the most WONDERFUL picture of my Mom and Dad with my son in his Dixie cap and whites. My father gave him the Ceremonial Oath and only choked back the tears, once. My son had a huge smile on his face. My mother passed away in 2019, and my father, just 2 months ago. The pictures and video from that day are THE most important memories I have of my parents. IF you have the opportunity, do it. My father was too ill to attend Commissioning. My father was buried last month in full DRESS UNIFORM, in the National Cemetery in Dixon, CA (Sacramento Valley) with full Military Honors. My mother's remains were buried with him. My Ensign (in flight school in Pensacola) was in dress blues for both services, and a pall bearer for my Dad. The legacy lives on.
