Years On Board From/To: May 64/Jun65 Division VF-53 Rate/Rank PN3/2 Home#: 228 475 3841 Address: 3318 Rver Road City: Moss Point State: Mississippi Zipcode: 39563 Comments: Was onboard during USS MADOXX/USS TURNER JOY activities. VF-53 lost LT T.B. Fallon on a cold Cat Shot as Tico sailed past. Ejection seat failure? First experience watching a fellow shipmate and division office buried at sea. We also lost our CS1 (?) during flight ops and the COD was parked in the Heavy's spot. He walked into the prop and instantly killed. His shipmate was unaware of this and found him in the Mess Deck chill box! Sad. Later in life VF-53 held a reunion in Las Vegas where I reunited with shipmates and PN2 Herald Dolin, Mr Used Car! Not long after Herald passed away. I met my division Chief, PNC Goo during one of my forays to Hawaii on Uncle's dime. He too has passed. Fond memories of sleeping on forward cat's where it was a bit cooler during the uptempo ops. Was expertly indoctrinated to Yokosuka by the squadron GM's and marveled at the tempo and pace of war.

City: The Hills of Lakeway State: TX Zipcode: 78738 Comments: Went on to fly 2nd Mech on a P-3 in VP-40 for 1968 & 1969. Diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006. Recently learned that Lymphoma is a "Blue Water presumptive disease" for filing with VA for disability if stationed near Viet Nam. However, I also qualified under "boots on the ground" while in VP-40 as we flew out of Cam Rahn Bay some. Now waiting on the VA's response. If you have had cancer or heart disease due to Agent Orange, file for your well-deserved benefits.

Zipcode: 60540 Comments: Netflix just released a new 3 part series titled "Five Came Back". It's the story of five Hollywood movie directors and what they did in filming in WWII. I watched episode 3 today, which is the last of the series. In the 28th minute of this episode they show the Kamikaze hitting the Ticonderoga and they mention our ships name. Have never seen this footage before. Thought this would be of interest to all. |
