I’m writing this to honor those who I know have served in the military.
Top of the list is Ken Vaughn. He served in the navy as an Aircrewman for 30 years, the longest a non commissioned sailor can serve.
Next, my nephew, Patrick Rogan, 23 years US Army.
The rest are listed in no particular order.
Robert Weber USA WW-2, two years in Patton’s 3rd army.
Kenneth Smith, US Marines, WW-2 Carlson’s raiders, 4 years.
William Stoeppler, USA Air corps, 5 years, one year in a Nazi prison camp.
Jim Stoeppler, US Army Medic, 4 years.
Doug Cullwell, USN, aircrewman 1 year, communications station 3 years, RIP.
Barry Litchfield, USN, 4 years, Tanker Ship.
Dave Barth, USN, 4 years, VW-1, airborne early warning squadron.
Roy Dordick, USN, 4 years, 2 years VW-1, 2 years USS Kitty Hawk.
Last one William Weber, USN, 10 years, 8 months. Aircrewman VW-1, 1 year, USS Kitty Hawk 2 years, Electronics instructor Naval Air station, Millington, Tennessee 5 years, USS Enterprise, 1 year, aircraft electronics repair depot North Island, California 1 year, 8 months.
There are hundreds more I served with than this old brain can remember. There are faces I can see, but I cannot put a name to them.
