  • Thanks chief, I am the founder of the LaSalle assn so I will see if I can get a bunch of the guys interested. I also set up their first and second reunions. I then set up a first reunion for the Jesse L Brown and I will try to get them on here as well. Nice site.

  • I am glad to be aboard! I love being able to "associate" with other Navy vets! Don't worry, I will be posting a lot! Thanks for having me!
  • Thanks Chief that was my mistake, still learning to navigate this site.
  • My story is not a hapy one.I am diagnosed with colon cancer and a heart problem by my local VA hospital.This has left me unable to work.I do have social security filed and it looks good.I also have a claim filed with the VA for benefits.But we are losing everything waiting for these benefits to come through.
  • Thanks, Doug. Will do. Great site, and I hope you can continue to keep it up and running.
  • Hi Bill,

    Being as salty as you are, do you know any aviation folks from VA-27 or VA-97 from 1969 to 1970? I am researching an accident where a sailor was sucked into the intake of an A-7 jet while waiting to launch. Have not found any mention while researching VA-27 or 97. I am checking with VSO's also. Am hoping another set of eyes and ears might help. Thank you for the welcome and any assistance. Doug Foster, AO3.
  • Thank you for giving me the chance to join such a great group
    people. I try to collect as much of Navy items and stories
    that I can. I enjoy working with models of all kinds of ships.
    I would love to get a model of the U.S.S. Holland (AS-32), if
    was possible. That was a good duty statiion. Shipmatew
