Be sure to join the Navy Wives command I set up!

Simspon said…: I would be interested in finding out how I could buy a Navy Pea Coat...I remember the cold winds blowing off the coastline in New England & that was the warmest coat I ever owned. Through the years of moving , etc. it became misplaced. I miss my warm coat! It is 24 degree's & snowing in Western PA. I could sure use my Navy Pea coat about now!
