    Information Systems Technician, 2nd Class Sean Stageberg and Electronics Technician Third Class Rudy Picardo joke with a patient celebrating his 12th birthday at Chris Evert Children’s Hospital. Sailors and Marines from amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) visited with children throughout the hospital handing out photos, stickers and the ship’s coin. Wasp is in Port Everglades, April 25-30, for the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration. Overall, there will be about 3,000 sailors and Marines and six ships in attendance. The War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration, held during the annual Fleet Week Port Everglades (FW PEV), Fla., is part of a series of city visits by the navy which will take place beginning April 2012 and concluding in 2015. The commemoration of the bicentennial of the war of 1812 is a salute to all sailors and Marines who fought gallantly in that conflict, who have served in our nation's conflicts since then, and who are defending freedom around the world today.
