Who was Stephen Decatur?

Northeast Tennessee Johnson City Iron Horse (Founders Park)

26 Pax including 1 FNG showed up to get better and celebrate the birthday of America’s first Naval Hero, Stephen Decatur.  YHC hadn’t Q’d since his birthday so it was only fitting.  Mr. Decatur left a young America too soon at the age of 41 as a result of a duel.  We worked to honor his age, sea legs, and sailor’s shoulders this morning.

Strong work by the Pax following a Monday Murph and a Tuesday Donatello Q.  Great turnout for a cool Thursday morning with school getting back into swing.  I have no doubt the Pax will keep it rolling on Saturday with a wintry weather Honcho Q.  Captain Decatur would be proud.
