Bremertunes

Central themes in our lives are composed of many pieces…

Some parts play a major role, like fulfilling the needs of the Navy serving as a crew-member aboard a submarine, and some parts are small pieces which add to the sum total. A sight, a smell, a voice, or just a word or command, perhaps, can trigger a flood of memories.

On the non-classified side, the songs we listened to form a part of that mind-scape. Unique music and meaningful lyrics can grab you like nothing else and capture the emotions with a sense of being there.

We are building a collections of music, some are American Classics, songs selected by 698 alum that bring them back the wondrous years surrounding their experiences while being a Bremerton sailor. One song per man is allowed and we’re just getting started.
