The Lone Sailor

The Lone Sailor, Riverfront Park, North Charleston, S.C.

He is a bit over dressed for our heat but Iam pleased that North Charleston has one of the twelve copies of the Lone Sailor Statue. The original Lone Sailor statue was created in 1987 as a tribute to all the personnel of the sea services and placed at the United States Navy Memorial. This gentleman overlooks the Cooper River at the North Charleston Riverfront Park.


In other more local news, my hospital passed our Joint Commission survey with flying colors today. Whew. What a relief. No matter how much we try to maintain a high level of care you never know exactly what surveyors are going to concentrate on.  They send a team that can pop up anywhere. Our CEO gave us the good news at 4 p.m. that all went well and they left very impressed. I am very proud of all my co-workers today. High fives to everyone! Yippee!

Sir Geoffry at the Navy Yard Blog posted an entry on the Lone Sailor statue on the banks of the Cooper River.

There are currently twelve of these replica statues found around the country honoring those that have served in the sea services of the United States and any community can apply to have one. The web site gives all the details.

It's a chilly night out. I'm glad he has that warm jacket on.
