Why My Blog is Called “The Salty Dog”
December 14, 2009 by Jim · Leave a Comment
I wanted to have something catchy that relates to me instead of just “My Blog” . The one thing that came to mind is salt. Why salt? Having the last name Morton conjures the brand Morton Salt. I’m also a U.S. Navy veteran who served on board a guided missile destroyer and a rescue salvage ship. I’m also an active member of my American Legion Post, a veterans organization. I once was a “Salty Dog” sailor. I also love dogs and have two, Daisy and Abby. So there you have it.
First Ship I Served On – Guided Missile Destroyer USS Preble DDG 46

Second Ship I Served On – Rescue/Salvage Ship USS Opportune ARS 41
