Uncle George MMC USN 1916-1950 My Hero

My Uncle George Chief Machinist Mate USN served 34 years from 1916-1950 and spent 20 years on USS Maryland BB46. He was in France in WW1 and at Pearl Dec 7 and then the Pacific for rest of WWII.He was my hero when I first met him in 1950 but I only gave them (USN Aviation) 20 years from 1958-1979 so did not make it a full career like he did.I feel great compassion for today's serviceman. It was a whole lot easier for me in the "cold war". I had a cake walk fixing airplanes. Spent 1965-68 in Japan patching up planes from Vietnam. Long hours but got to sleep with my bride at night.God Bless our troops.Go this from my sister today: YouTube - Thank You Soldiers - Veteran's Day/Memorial Day SongAlso go to your Dodge Ram dealer and mail a letter to the troops.
