Today was a special day for us as Tatum received the Sacrament of Baptism at the Chapel on base. This day was all the more special as Tatum wore her great grandfather's baptism gown, which is nearly 100 years old! Additionally, Tatum was the 5th child to be baptized in the official VP-10 Squadron bell - a military tradition. Her name will be inscribed on the inside of the bell along with the names of the other children who have been baptized in the bell. When, and if, the squadron is decommissioned in the future, Tatum's name, along with the bell will be forever preserved in this piece of our country's military history.
