050802-N-0685S-002 San Diego, Calif. (Aug. 02, 2005) – Sailors stationed aboard the newly commissioned guided missile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97) homeported in San Diego, receive autographs from actress Pamela Anderson. Anderson visited the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to present the USO with a $150,000 check from a variety of entertainment companies. The ship was named after U.S. Naval Academy graduate Fleet Adm. William "Bull" Halsey Jr., who commanded South Pacific Force and South Pacific Area during World War II. Halsey is capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and the ship contains a number of offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime defense needs well into the 21st century.

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Television star Pamela Anderson presented a $150,000 check from FOX Home Entertainment to the United Services Organization (USO) Aug. 2 aboard the Navy’s newly-commissioned Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97).

The FOX donation, raised from its DVD sales of classic war films, commemorates the upcoming 60th anniversary of America’s victory over Japan during World War II. The USO, a non-profit organization, will use the donation in its efforts to provide morale, welfare and recreation opportunities to Sailors and their families.

Halsey was commissioned July 30 and is named after the legendary World War II hero Fleet Adm. William F. Halsey, who witnessed the end of World War II with the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship USS Missouri (BB 63).

“I don’t think there’s a better place to do this ceremony than on the USS Halsey because 60 years ago on V-J Day, Halsey spurred that whole effort,” said Halsey’s Commanding Officer, Cmdr. James L. Autrey. “It’s also an honor to recognize the USO, and having Pamela Anderson on board truly boosted morale.”

The crew stood silently in ranks to catch a glimpse of the TV star. After the USO presentation, Anderson spent about an hour visiting with Sailors and signing autographs.

“It was nice to have her come through and show her support,” said Seaman Josue Jara, a deck seaman aboard Halsey. “A couple days ago, we had a great commissioning ceremony. To follow it up with something like this is tremendous.”

As a big supporter of the Navy, Anderson said she was thrilled to be on the ship. Since it was Anderson’s first time on a destroyer, crew members took her on a tour of the ship.

“I was very excited,” Anderson said. “And I would just like all the Sailors out there (in the fleet) to know that we love them and think about them constantly. They are in our thoughts and prayers.”

Surprised they're using Patton as the movie for the event. Would have thought something a little more nautical might be more apropros.

NTM

"House Calls"

Quoted: She loves Semen.

frickin loser touching that pen would certainly bring diasease at the leastACK!

skank !!!!

You know, it is nice that she's visiting the sailors and helping out the USO. You guys could at least have some respect for that.  She could be using her voice to hate them, after all. And she'd get more press for doing that.

Despite her being a walking petri dish, I'd have to say +1. She's doing a hell of a lot more than 99% of the scumbags in Hollyweird.


ETA: Did they give PATTON away free or something?

Quoted: skank !!!!

Personal feelings aside this is a celebrity who is actually supporting our armed forces.

I'd rather hang out with Pam than many others.

Yeah, as you guys have said, at least she's out supporting the troops.

And SteyrAUG, if that's all that's left to hang out with, I'd still pass.

And she was so damn cute in her original Centerfold.

Hey! Why's she wearing a Mae West.





Oh..  nevermind.

I'd hang out and talk to her.

Not gonna drink out of the same glass or anything.

But I bet she's interesting to talk to.

And yeah, used to be really cute. Too damn bad she hooked up with a Hepatitis infected loser.

I couldn't agree more... But, she is still a skank.

... IIRC, she has a rather huge pussy

Or you have a small dick....    But, hey, at least you fucked her.


I thought her genetailia was rather tidy.

She's doing the right thing by helping with morale.  I just hope those Navy guys know she has STD's.

Can you IM me a pic?

  +1 , Give her a break. I wish more of the Hollyweird types would realize their freedom to "be" depends on the Sailors,Soldiers Airmen & Marines. Sure she has a past, but she is an American, a  Mother and appearently a patriot.

Bet there was a lot of extra seamen running around on that boat that night.

She came out to the USS Stennis with Kid Rock back in 2002.
BFD.

With her flotation, that's a girl that'll never drown.

You have to give her credit for that

why do they just mention her as a television star?  She's a movie star, too -- haven't you guys seen Barb Wire?
