Các quan24,

"Bà đầm" Sơn có ghi lại 1 vài cảm nghĩ cũng như cảm nhận của mình trong kỳ đại hội 40 năm của khóa, đặc biệt là chân thành gởi đến các quan và phu nhân 24 ở Nam Cali lời biết ơn ưu ái về những gì đã nhận đã cho, tất cả đã trở thành 1 góc nhớ trong tâm hơn vốn không rộng lớn của cô ta.

It doesn’t get any better than this.

It was a dream reunion.
A fantasy start and a successfully storybook finish by the “NamCa” in Southern California. Close your eyes and take a look back at the 40th anniversary reunion.
Let your mind wander and drink it all in.
No frozen nightmares in Minnesota. No floods in the Midwest, nor forest fires in Nevada.

From wire-to-wire, they ran the project as of their own lives. All year long, the "NamCa" exercised their poise and sheer will and in the end, they exorcised the demons entire of the ex-24th class navy cadets.
The “NamCa” didn’t simply success to utmost on Sunday night (09-01-2013), they beat all of the ghosts in an overcrowded closet of painful problems memories, including the disharmonious internal affairs and the belief swayed from others.
You always knew that if science could put a man on the moon, this had to be possible after the Apollo lunar landing in 1969. Four year after, you all, 256 cadets take a wave to leave Nha Trang on your graduation ceremony.

Now, 40 years later, you could almost hear the voice of all friends the bustling old days under one roof on the 40th anniversary reunion.
Instead of saying “Houston, we have a liftoff”, you now have the right, proud to change it and yell “Santa-Ana, pisces has landed. Again”
Touchdown came at 7.00 p.m. at a place that wasn't anything but called “Mon Cherri”. Mon Cherri rocked and the "NamCa" rolled in the emotions of the glorious, wonderful moment as never been and never will in your lifetime.

In the last two month, the “NamCa” was struggled that tested their nerves and their durability as much as their knack for staying positives. It was a marathon run that stretched from early 2012 to the following summer 2013. Together, they never lost the dream. "One helluva ride".
“Bái phục!” said Nguyễn h. Nguyên, “you always wanted to be called as Star ?”
Now you are… the "NamCa".
All of you... go ahead, pinch youself :
Santa-Ana ! Wake up, the dream reunion is a reality.

PS: I named you as the “NamCa”:
- những cặp vợ chồng trong ban tổ chức, điều hành
- những cặp vợ chồng chia xẻ cái ăn chỗ ở chỗ vui chơi
- những mạnh thường quân không tên tuổi
