 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Interesting how the Navy does not seem to want any mention of Seabees. Maybe that's why the only people who recognize the existance of us, are Marines!

My wife of 54 years and I live in Florida. We spend our time with Shirley sewing or going to the fabric store add in doctor visits. Plus she goes to her sewing group.

I stay away from people. I awake 3-4 AM. I walk then bicycle. Then stay inside. Thrursday is Publix grocery day. If I have a VA, Moffitt Cancer Center, or Vet Center appt. then get out.

 

    Other Comments:

For those not military the Vietnam Service Medal is shown serveral times because each bronze star means one of the operational items, The silver star means 5 bronze stars. So on the Timeline it automatically added additional same medal.
