The most important thing that I could say about my father, Erasmo O. Tovar, and the Navy is one word – Proud!!

My father enlisted in the Navy at the age of 21 years old. His passion for what the Navy and the world had to offer was endless. The stories that my father told us was that he enjoyed traveling (Hawaii, Japan, Taiwan & Philippines), cooking in the kitchen and having fun with his buddies. He had a position as -Masters of Arms and Crewman.

I just wished that he could of seen what the world had to offer him of the past and memories of his cruise ship.

We are very proud of you Dad and your accomplishments.
