I in no way want to minimize the service of any U.S.servicemen.When asked about my Navy service,I reply that I was in during the big one.I tell them I was in Hawaii,during the Cuban Crisis. Naval Air Station Barbers Point Oahu Hawaii. 1961-1963 Utility Squadron One.I have the highest respect for those who were in combat,and otherwise had the difficult assignments.Bless you all !
