I thank him for his service.<br />My dad was a student at the Navy Dive & Salvage School (Bayonne, NJ) July 31, 1952--December 18, 1952. He retired as a salvage officer in 1969 after serving 30 years and three months in the Navy, I.e., WWII, Korea, Vietnam..<br />Don Winant, Spokane, WashingtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-42896054346227102362012-12-20T09:20:43.431-05:002012-12-20T09:20:43.431-05:00Yes, of course.

At home at work and, indeed, at war, it was a way of life. The manner in which your services bury their dead is impressive and touching both; really quite superb. If you'll permit me, I offer a salute to him and to your family; especially at this time of year when the absence of those whom we love but see no more is most keenly felt.Greg Bentonhttp://piddingworth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-45464909186480440612012-12-19T16:47:17.821-05:002012-12-19T16:47:17.821-05:00I've seen that movie.

It will bring tears to your eyes, guaranteed.Average Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211406136371011324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-28477675202705137552012-12-19T02:36:07.547-05:002012-12-19T02:36:07.547-05:00Great post Tom.
