Veterans Get Together at the Pub

[PTAngel]

My husband served in the US Marines 1964-68.  He was a sea going marine on the USS Northampton guarding the US President.  He was a guard for President Johnson.  Then Camp Lejeune & a 6 month med cruise.

 

I am also a Gold Star Mother.  My oldest son was in the Navy 1983-1995.  He died at Walter Reed Hospital.  

 

My younger son was in the Navy 1985-1992 then Army Reserves (1998?- 2019) serving in Iraq & Afganizagtan.

 

We are a military family.  Thank you all for your service.

My first ever cruise was a free 21 night cruise in September 1966 from Tacoma WA (Fort Lewis) to Vung Tau, Vietnam, courtesy of 4th Inf. Div. on the troop ship Gen.Walker. Google the Walker, some neat video on her. Lived in the jungle for a year in and around Tay Ninh, Cu Chi and Cambodia, came home in 1967.

Next up, Grandeur!

I was stationed at Incirlik in 1972-1973. TUSLOG Det 16. Not an easy assignment for a woman but I did get to see a lot of the Middle East.

Typo in my service dates: 1982 to 1988

I had a good time on the Ainsworth - went to Guantanamo bay - drydock in Charleston. The crew was great and the BT's in the Fireroom were top notch. I learned a lot from them.

[A&L_Ont]

To all those who have served, thank-you.  
 

I recorded the Veterans Ceremony on Harmony this past August.  Very touching.

Ran into a Spook at a veterans get together and we were on the same patrol!  Hard to believe with only 120 guys on the boat, we spent 91 days underwater and we never met!

Have you seen Blind Man's Bluff - History Channel Documentary?  Might be up your alley.  Discusses the types of missions you may have been on.
