Slideshow: The Clintons Aboard the USS Makin Island

On Friday, April 1, Secretary Clinton's schedule stated that she had "no public appointments." She did not. But she did have a personal engagement. Chief Culinary Specialist Oscar Flores, who worked in the Clinton White House was retiring. A celebration was held aboard the USS Makin Island on which he served, and the Secretary of State, the former POTUS, Professor Chelsea Clinton, and Mrs. Dorothy Rodham all attended to wish him well. (As do we all!)

Our friend Bea was the one who went to the USS Makin Island Facebook page to find these, but since it was a link in a thread that many might not see, I thought I would post a slideshow above the fold. I have included pictures of the awesome vessel herself since aircraft carriers and their crews simply fascinate me.
