thanks, Scott Van Meter 89-91 |
If you know of a shipmate that does not have computer access, please let us know from the contact
page and we will be glad to mail hard copies of anything in this website.
A note from Carole: Sailors, if your email address changes, please resend it to me. You do not need to fill
out the whole registration form again, just resend your email address so I can update my lists. I have received notification
of a large number of bad addresses from my last mailing.

Happy Birthday to the US Navy, established on October 13th, 1775:

 May 27 at 7:13 AM · For many Americans, Memorial Day is "the unofficial start of summer," a day off of work
and the perfect day for a barbecue. But for some veterans, Memorial Day could in fact be a very difficult day. Rather than
being a day to thank living veterans for their service, Memorial Day is a day to remember veterans who are no long with us,
whether they died in combat or not.This really isn't a holiday to celebrate, but reflect. Companies need to recognize that
other veterans may have memories of combat, almost dying, buddies dying, killing people, and so many other things can erupt
during this weekend of emotions. Rather than approaching your veterans and saying, "Thank you for your service,"
think of saying instead - "Enjoy your weekend, but I want you to know that I will be remembering what this holiday is
about." Or - "Enjoy your weekend, and I will be thinking about those that are no longer with us." Or - "I
will be taking a moment this weekend to honor those that served our nation and are no longer with us."So, enjoy your
weekend and day off, but take a moment to reflect on why we have this weekend. www.kristyrobinett.com

On the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 the armistice was signed to end "The
War To End All Wars." We now call this day Veterans Day; it is a day where we pause to reflect upon, and honor all those
who have valiantly served in the armed forces in time of war and peace. Leaving home and family, each of these men and women
placed their own stitch in the continuing tapestry of American readiness, vigilance and freedom. Thank you, soldier, sailor,
Marine or airman. Thank you for giving of yourself for all of us.

A message from JO3 Douglas Gorham 76-78 I was the ship's first journalist. No CCTV system when I first checked
onboard so I was assigned to deck. Moved around alot until system finally arrived and I was able to do journalist work.
Also started ship's first newspaper "Catch 22". Retired in '99 as a JOCM and went into teaching. Spent the next
20 years teaching physical education in elementary school.
