My Argument for Facebook

I don't know how it happened. Social media has become as much a needed utility as electricity or indoor plumbing. From housing embarassing photos of your kids and their friends, to uniting large numbers set on toppling dictator, Facebook has become everyone's looking glass. Just when I think I can give up Facebook until the next class reunion, the USS Ronald Reagan's Facebook page posts this image. Although having a front row seat to everyone's lives can sometimes be unnerving, the view from here is pretty sweet. Holly's own Captain Burke.

PACIFIC OCEAN (Feb. 14, 2011) – Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class JRay Norris, from Wash., renders a salute after passing the flag to Captain Thom Burke, commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during a burial at sea ceremony. Twenty-one service members and their spouses were committed to the sea by the crew of the Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan is currently underway conducting training exercises in preparation for an upcoming deployment to the Western Pacific and Central Command areas of operation.
