At random: Insignia of the Navy's submarine service is a submarine flanked by two dolphins. Dolphins, or porpoises, the traditional attendants to Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea and patron deity of sailors, are symbolic of a calm sea, and are sometimes called the 'sailors' friend. In addition to the Dolphins, those World War II submariners who participated in successful combat patrols may wear the coveted Submarine Combat Insignia.

Gentry chose to take advantage of the rare event of having all three sons, three grandsons, three daughters-in-law and one newly adopted dog all in the same place plus other family members, close friends, two other dogs (plus yet a third that bolted from an adjacent yard after a particularly loud boom) totally about thirty folks for bbq'd brats n' beers.

Family first!
