So did I ..... or they don't want to admit to it....... Changing the subject.... I attended the Submarine Birthday Ball last year ( as I have done for every year).. and have noticed the number of WWII boat sailors has been declining..... in a few more years the WWII guys will be gone and we will have no one to honor.
I gues the next group on the list will be the COLD WAR SAILORS....... The fast boats and the 41 for Freedom guys will finally get their day..... It is a known fact throughout the Navy the Submarine Force won the COLD WAR without ever having to fire a shot in anger...... we came close a few times but never let the fish or the baby killer's go....
The old days of the Bithday Ball are gone..... they too have gotten politically correct....... NO MORE SINGING OF THE SUBMARINE SONGS....... ( the original dirty /nasty / socially unacceptable one)......
