This week I had the opportunity to represent TK Urban Garden at our monthly Navy League Breakfast held here in San Diego where not only were they taking part in the annual Toys for Tots program but also honoring the achievements of Sailors and Civilians who exemplified service and sacrifice this year.
We also heard from guest speaker Captain Andrew "Andy" Koy, Sr. who shared from his experiences from his small town in Bellville, Texas to his amazing career leading him to command the USS Sterett (DDG 104) among other proud distinctions.
The thing that stood out too me was his story of his visits and connections with the people of Somerset County, PA who have a naval ship named in honor and the memory of those who died there on 9/11 aboard United Airlines Flight 93. It was touching to hear his and other Sailor's experience there and their commitment to continue to connect and support the community there, some two decades later.
