Lest we not forget our veterans who've served and are no longer with us for whatever reason.
Here is Robert Lee Merritt, Jr., aboard the USS Hilbert, DE742 circa 1944 doing "something" to one of the engines. You can see a piston and connecting rod behind him. He ain't lookin "none too happy" with the cameraman. LOL Thanks for your service Daddy, I wish I could thank you in person. I love you.
Thanks for sharing the GREAT pic and the reminder it wasnt a party they were at.I personally never understood why it became the drunks national holiday, But to you and your father a Salute to the memory and the service.
