Better to have states than politicians. But, the USS Eugene B. Fluckey or the USS Howard Gilmore or the USS Edward Beach, etc., would be even better.  ------------- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.~Abe Lincoln SS-393, SSBN-610(B), SSBN-624(G), SSN-591 USSVI Life Member; Holland Club; Plank Owner, Smoky Mtn.

I have been waiting until the Election is over before doing this as some Senators/House members have changed. I am going on a crusade to name them after our Medal of Honor awardees (two already have a DDG named for them. Then down to the list Navy Cross winners. We have one who had 5 Navy Crosses and several with 4. I would be proud to serve on the Fluckey, etc. but not some blowhard Senator or even Presidents, or National Parks, or whatever. I will come up with a letter for your Congressional people and SecNav, etc and get it to you and where you can find their addresses! ------------- My heroes wear dog tags, not shoulder pads |

I served on an inventor, a president and 2 fish. Sounds kind of weird when you put it that way. But, I agree with your sentiments, entirely. ------------- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.~Abe Lincoln SS-393, SSBN-610(B), SSBN-624(G), SSN-591 USSVI Life Member; Holland Club; Plank Owner, Smoky Mtn.
