Don't know if you remember me, but I served under you when you were skipper of HC-3 in the late 70's.

To get back on topic: Commander, USN, 1971-1993. I'm glad to say that my number of landings equalled my number of take-offs.
 
I'd like to recognize my son, SGT Eric Fifer, KIA Iraq, Oct 2005, Army.

My stepson, CPT Shaun Futch, Army, deployed to Afghanistan this past week.

My dad, USAF Retired.

And myself, Retired, Army.

She was a fine ship. I was fortunate enough a few months ago to receive an email from a Lt on board. He had received one of my Freedom Pens. I was on cloud 9 that day.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Enterprise. You did your nation proud.

I remember when she was commissioned and now I've lived long enough to see her de-commissioned....

Just finished watching the Salute to Veterans on PBS so, If I miss-spell anything is cause my vision is blurry! A heart felt thanks to all VETERANS; Past, Present and those who have yet to serve.
