PASCAGOULA -- Angie Guy of Hurley and her family were too late for the celebration with the crowd who had gathered at Pascagoula River Park to see the USS Mississippi arrive at the Port of Pascagoula on Friday. The submarine had arrived more than an hour earlier than expected. Still, she and her daughter, Carrie Allred of Columbia, Miss., were happy to see the sea ship docked across the river. "I was very excited to see this," said Guy.
"We brought my grandchildren to see this," said Guy, who said their attendance was for posterity. They picked up some posters provided by sponsoring corporations and photographs of the submarine.
"This is history," the grandmother said. "They are fixing to commission this USS Mississippi. It can go and be a hero. This is a once in a lifetime thing for me."
Allred had brought her children and those of her brother in Pascagoula to see the underwater ship --Logan Allred, Sawyer Allred, Hunter Guy and Fisher Guy. Angie Guy said she really hated they missed the arrival of the submarine.
"We found out this morning they were doing this and we decided to come down," said Carrie Allred.
