done to your ship, please send copies to me. I will be putting this
information on display at the NY and NJ. Bull Sessions held by
the Tin Can Sailors and also at the reunions of my ships. Many
of my shipmates go to reunions of other ships that they served on
and they should be able to pass this information on as well.

NAVY MEN IN KOREA
1950-1953
Hail to the crews who sailed their
ships, so far away
To battles wide they sailed
their ships, in harms way
We paid our price with death
and scars
We earned some ribbons
and battle stars
Ignored by the press, welcomed home
with nary a fuss
What a shame that no one spoke
kindly of us
Damned be to all that shunned us
Our ships were there
By Ron Bennett
(Dear readers and veterans: I know how important it is for those
in this column to receive any bit of information about a lost loved
one, just a friend, or a buddy that shared your experiences. Our
time is running out to get that special letter, so please if you can
reply to any request no matter how important your information
is. We cherish your response and usually just a few words can
lead to another missing link and believe me your letters give
some closure to those still waiting for answers. Please attempt to
type your letters, if not take the time to print or write clearly.
