Adam's Memorial Day

Adam spent Memorial Day with Nate, his roommate from this past year. Nate is in the Navy ROTC and was on assignment for a few weeks, one of which included 'Fleet Week' in New York City. He got a tour of Nate's ship, they went to the new 911 Museum that just opened, and went in to Little Italy.



This is Nate's ship:
