Navy band at the City Market

Navy band at the City Market

We don't see the Navy much in Kansas City, so seeing Navy personnel walking around the City Market was eye-catching.

I saw the Chief first. She was walking to the coffee shop and I made a mental note to hopefully find her later. Then I saw the band setting up, explaining why I was seeing another member of the Navy there.

Then walking through the market some more, I noticed the officer - specifically his rank is Lt. Commander (O-4), and the star means he's a line officer. I normally don't photograph men, but I was absolutely making an exception for a military officer in his service dress uniform.
