I LOST MY FATHER ON 24 FEB 2008. HE FOUGHT AS HE SAID "IN THE BIG WAR". HE WAS A NAVY VETERAN OF WWII. SERVED ON THE USSA MAINSTAY A MINESWEEPER AS A YEOMAN THIRD CLASS AND 20MM GUNNER. THE SHIP WON MANY AWARDS AND WAS SEVERAL TIMES UNDER FIRE FROM GERMAN SHORE BATTERIES.
I WAS PROUD TO GIVE HIM A FINAL SALUTE.

REST IN PEACE SEAMAN, HOPE YOU MEET UP WITH ALL YOUR OLD SHIPMATES.
