I am a military veteran, entered the service during WWII, served through Korea and Vietnam eras, retiring from the U.S. Navy . I am an American Patriot, a vanishing type of creature which is quite rare these days among the so-called “leadership” in Washington, D.C. The only Patriots I can find are in the military hospitals, at the DAV headquarters, the USO, the Vietnam Vets Club, at the American Legion, the Fleet Reserve Club and other service facilities
I am proud of my service. I never had to be ashamed of a decision made during my career. I always acted in the best interests of my Service and my Country. I love my Country. I proudly salute the U.S. Flag at every opportunity. I still tear up during Taps, when I think of all my shipmates who have passed.
