Thank you for the great salute to my Dad. I am his oldest Daughter (hate that phrase for sure, but I am) and I have so many great stories about the Sam Houston. I loved the "Try Me" slogan and I think that my daughter "Sam" has that jacket of Dads now!

God bless you Zeb. Thanks for all you did.

Captain Zeb worked the last part of life to prevent the tragedy of losing a precious and unique submarine, the Cavalla. How much more tragic it is to lose the man!

They could build a replica submarine. There will never be a replica Captain Zeb Alford. Salute!
