This Award is my most cherished. Thank You Dave

I have just finished a review of your site. Needless to say it is an
impressive effort and certainly does honor to the memory of your father.
While I generally give a single award to each site, your site deserves two.
Please accept my sincere best wishes.

This second award is presented in memory of your father. My older
brother and I inherited the finest Navy in the world from sailors
like your dad, who made and kept it so.

A Cherished Award From An Incredible Man. I Am Honored That He Has Become
A Dear Friend. Thank You, Jake

Jake of 'Jake's 'Yankee Station' wishes to honor the "USS Doyle C. Barnes (DE-353) Tribute Site" with it's 'prestigious' Big E award for Website Excellence on a Naval Theme'. Your father would certainly be proud of your accomplishment and your Honor of him on your site. I think this is very noble of a daughter.
May all who come to visit your Site be equally touched, and moved by your tribute to his ship, but more so, to those men who served in her. As it has been said, a ship is only a ship, when her crew is aboard.You should stand proud of your work on this site, and I hope you will display
the "Big E" Award with pride. The Big E is Navy in originality. E stands for Excellence. Ships are judged during trials, ORI's (Operations Readiness Inspection by the Fleet Admirals) and also during training. It isn't ever easy for a ship and crew to win this award, and so, it must also be true with those who seek this 'Big E Award". Congratulations on a job well done!

May you always have Fair Winds, and Following Seas...
Jake
