PROUDLY retired, U.S. Navy Signalman having served on three U.S. Naval Destroyer's and one Battlewagon, the USS New Jersey, BB-62 during the Vietnam War  ... The majority of these Vietnam Era ships were home-ported out of 32nd Street Naval Base, San Diego, California and assigned to Destroyer Squadron V ... I retired from the U.S. Navy in 1989 with a total of 27 years of service ... I miss so very much, steaming past Point Loma and sailing on God's majestic oceans of the world. 

 I can imagine a no more rewarding career, and any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with

a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy'
