very well sad. It just amazes me that they can say Coupeville is not effected if the navy leaves.. It is hard to find a person that is not in some way tied to the base either they are military living off base  or they are parents of military or they work at the base..  or for that matter they work at one of how many business in oak harbor.  Again lets pretend that Oak harbor no longer is there I beat there would be alto of unhappy people and unemployed people. Yes it was talk like this that got our base on the closer list and there are town and areas that would love to get military to their town.  If it were not for the military oak harbor would not have water the base is the one that footed most of the bill for that and a ton more.  And to say nothing of our home values . Our Hosptial would be in a world of hurt if all the military moved.. So tread lightly  and lets think.  Or are we actting like children that their is no middle ground. I sure hope we are adults here
