Before Dazzling In The Air, Blue Angels Team Members Made Lifetime Memories For Visiting Families

OCEAN CITY – The 8th Annual Ocean City Air Show was headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels this past weekend but prior to kicking off their official performance team members took some time out to visit families staying at the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea on Friday morning.

For Administrative Officer LTJG Phil Harper and AE2 Ben Thayer, this was their first time visiting Ocean City as well as working with the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation.

“Within our flight schedule pretty much every Friday we have the opportunity to go out, visit the local schools and have opportunities like this. This is overwhelmingly positive,” Thayer said of Believe In Tomorrow. “I am very happy to be here. It really moves the heart. It is a great program.”

Since arriving in Ocean City a couple of days earlier, Thayer said the community had been very welcoming.
