I have to admit, I have always been grateful for the write up on this citation. It defined what I did during my tour and makes me proud that I volunteered for duty in Viet-Nam.
I arrived as a Seaman Apprentice, was given Seaman after a month and just before I left they simply changed SN for FN and I became a Fireman so I could attend IC-A School. I have always felt fortunate to have this citation because it summarizes details of my job far better than I could have if I'd written it myself.
Signed by Rear Admiral Salzer, Commander US Naval Forces Viet-Nam.
