Here’s a submission from a subscriber who sends along an e-mail from an old Navy buddy.  He comments that he hopes we can use it.  OK, Al; you bet your sweet bippy we can use it!  Thanks! Cpt. Otis

PT Boat 658 – The only functional, restored PT boat left in the World, and operating out of Portland, Oregon. Great! A real tribute to the gentlemen who restored the boat.

Here’s an example of another terrific contribution made by the Greatest Generation.

Loyal Subscribers!  We need some help.  The purpose of our “Heart” section is to publish stories of the experiences, contributions and sacrifices of our military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) and public service personnel (police officers, fire fighters, EMS, merchant marines and others in the public sector) as well as stories of their families.  Please search your memory and computer for a few and send them to Bill (CPT Otis) O’Quin at boquin@ix.netcom.com for possible publication.  Thanks!
