070320-N-6775N-171 PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (March 20, 2007) - Neil Smith is presented with Master Chief Operations Specialist Gary Horton’s personal, 18-year-old combination cover at the end of his tour on board guided missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70). The Make-A-Wish Foundation sponsored Smith’s visit to the ship. The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a young boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt dream was to become a police officer. What had started as a small grassroots organization has now grown to a worldwide phenomenon reaching more than 144,000 children.
