Mission Journal 5 — Shannon Johnson: Mission Day 3: Sunday, December 11th, 2005
Today’s mission involved securing auger anchors with grout, packing marine safe grease into the threads of the screw jacks, then covering them with PVC covers to minimize growth.
Much was completed today for this mission, but the highlight of my day happened when HTC Glen Rubin made a dive while flying our American flag, capturing the event for his retirement. Chad and I were fortunate enough to be diving at the time, and were able to be a part of the pictures. I am honored to have been underwater with the Stars and Stripes flying over our heads. This flag will be encased in his retirement Shadow box, and will be seen by his ancestors to come, reminding them of his dedication to this great nation. Thank you Glen.
