and prayers.
South Easterners... you are in my thoughts...and prayers.
Went to SC on Monday and all clear! Just a ton of twigs and power out until Tuesday afternoon. Had a generator so not a big deal... freezer was OK and the fridge section was still coolish but we took the opportunity to completely clean out both for a fresh start! Couple cars out in the yard but as it was just twigs and small branches nothing got damaged. Not so for many folks... a few pines broke but it was mostly hardwoods with shallow root systems that tipped. Eastern NC got a mess but I have not seen this in person... WNC is OK!

I was a Second Class ET... communications and the only ship I was on was an LCM outta Coronado Island to the First Street landing in San Diego. (About a 20 minute liberty launch and going back to base on the Midnight run under the stars and the Coronado Bridge was breathtaking...)
My time in Vietnam was ashore... and my only malady was to be doused with A/O and a case of PTSD diagnosed just 5 years ago. I'm at the VA these days averaging 2 times a week and I usually wear a US NAVY Cap that also has the three common ribbons embroidered on it. Most then ask me what ship I was on... and I say the USS NAVFAC DANANG.
HA! Most then ask if that was a Destroyer... HAHAHAHA!
To my shipmates here and to all Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen, I say "thank you for your service". To my brother's in arms from back in the day I say, welcome home..."
