To celebrate everything Shipyard Owners and Groups do, we have created a monthly celebration called the Shipyard Spotlight. The goal will be to honor a group of people or a person that has done something extraordinary, gone beyond the call of duty, or something exciting within the Shipyard community. This January we are celebrating the Birds of Prey Group and our very own Sgt. Thompson! Have you or your group done something like this? Send pictures and a description to communications@shipyardhhi.com to be featured in the next issue.
