To All Our Vets...
Unfortunately, as you see close to the end of the video, onboard ships ~ we honor, we remember, but then it's back to work before we have to honor another. I spent time in the Tonkin Gulf onboard the U.S.S. Hancock (CV-19) and decommissioned the U.S.S. Intrepid (CV-11), both sister ships of...- extxn

FuzzyWuzHe ~~ don't ever turn loose of those memories Brother! Most people today could never deal with what we saw on those wards, much less dialing a phone for someone else, writing a letter because someone else couldn't, changing a TV channel because the sets back then weren't remote...- extxn

Fozworth ~ riding with the PGR is more service than you know. You don't have to be a Vet, don't even need to ride a bike ~ you only 'need the feeling' and show respect for the fallen during the flag line. That Sir is more than some I know can do! On the other hand, if you don't mist up when...- extxn

To all on here and willing to listen ~ Welcome Home. Me, I was in the Navy and spent time as a 19yr. old on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Hancock (CV-19) out in the Tonkin Gulf. I was never 'in country', but it wasn't because I didn't try. Went out to Diego for boot, then across the U.S. to...- extxn

I hear ya dc, seems as though I'm writing to home Brother since I'm originally from Odessa, Tx and spent some time stationed at White Sands Missile Range (a very long time ago!). Fun is fun ~ but we still have that original motto of 'Vets Helping Vets'. Some of it would be fun if more people...- extxn

Lost a Brother
We've lost another hero who went before us ~ CVMA Brother Sledge from Massachusetts, known throughout Region 3, has gone to ride with the glory of our Lord and Savor. Sledge was 92 yr. old and a WWII Vet, an outstanding man to know and be around ~ always doing things his way. Our hearts are...- extxn

Hello to everyone from the NEK of Vermont. Currently, I ride with the CVMA (Combat Veteran's Motorcycle Association) Chapter 26-1 and serve as the SaA. I'm a Nam Vet from the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, U.S.S. Hancock (CV-19). My past couple of years has been really slim on the riding part as...- extxn

I went on a sub ONCE! Made sure all the ropes were tied to the dock too!! Actually, my father in law was a submariner, I went to the boat one afternoon while he had watch duty and had dinner with the crew. Got a good tour of everything and then realized I had more people in my Division on the...- extxn

As a member of the catapult and arresting gear crew, we knew them as 'controlled crashes'. I still have 2 thumbs, 8 fingers and 10 toes ~ my feet still want to move before my head has a chance to see what the noise was about! Mandatory reaction development!!- extxn

Hey Elf, Welcome Home. Don't know if I ever launched your ride off the cats or not, I worked the cats & gear on the flattops (5 different ones). Was in the Tonkin Gulf '69 -''70 on the U.S.S. Hancock (CV-19).- extxn
