My Apologies
To those who have
Sent their names and additional information that I have not
added yet.
The project has become very large and even though I work on it almost every day, it is impossible for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the names and information as quickly as I can.

Thank You All

SGT John A. DeVito 1970 - 1971			I was a parachute rigger, and worked on the flight deck. When ever I see a movie about aircraft carriers I remember the excitement of the flight deck. The coolest job I ever had.
SGT Tony Henry 1970 - 1971			Went aboard as a Cpl, but picked up Sgt. in Sept. 1970. Worked in the Avionics shop, spending most of the cruise on the flight deck. Absolutely hated ship life, swore I'd never go back on board another, but later in my life, I joined the USMC reserves. I was in HMA 773, working on Cobras and Huies. Believe it or not, my unit got activated and I wound up serving on 3 ships, the USS Tripoli, USS Juneau, and the USS New Orleans during the first Persian Gulf War. Would love to hear from shipmates who knew me.
