WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Navy Prepares To Leave Singing River Island

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Navy Prepares To Leave Singing River Island: "'In just a very short time, this space has had a very strong impact on our Navy, our nation, and the lives of the men and women who live and work in this community,' US Navy Chief of Staff Capt. Matthew Schellhorn said.

It was a going-away party of sorts on Friday for Naval Station Pascagoula, and the men and women who have served here over the past 14 years.

'Our job now is to make lemonade out of lemons. We wish they were staying. They're not. So the local community is working very hard with the state and the Navy to figure out what we're going to do,' Secretary of State Eric Clark said."
