Okay, so I’m a little early. However, what a great day to start thinking about our veterans (of all branches, in all conflicts and wars) – election day! Our rights as Americans have been saved, protected and/or reaffirmed by the blood, guts and bravery of American men and women who served in an endless array of jobs – big and small – all contributing to the protection and honor of our country.
At this website, we have a kind of built-in prejudice towards the Navy. Prejudice might be too strong a word. Maybe “affinity” is a better choice. Okay, we have this affinity for sailors who served aboard the USS Boston during the great Pacific War. A daughter of an original crewmember of CA-69 and friend of this website, Laurie Wasilewski, found this terrific newspaper clipping that her dad, Frank had tucked away in his “stuff.” Thanks, Laurie, for sharing it with all of us.
Honoring our veterans . . . hats off to all who have served this great nation. We are grateful and forever in your debt.
