That has got to be the strangest feeling. Seeing that picture and knowing your dad is part of it.

My thanks to your dad for his service.

It is sort of strange knowing he was there at that moment. That same picture is in a book of the Maryland that my mother has. He got it while he was still in the navy. It laid around the house for years, I used to pick it up and leaf through it now and then and now to see that same picture on the internet is a little strange. My dad would have been interested to see it but he passed away about 25 years ago. It really bothered him when the Maryland was scrapped in 1959.
