Touring San Diego - Feb 18, 2012

Jerry and Braden and I went to San Diego.

We toured the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier.

The Midway was named after the WWII Battle of Midway.

This ship is similar to the ship Jerry was on at the start of the Vietnam War,

it was named the Bon Homme Richard.

And the Midway was near Vietnam while I was stationed there in 1972.

 After that we went through "The Star of India",

and the "Ship Surprise". We also went through a Russian and an American Submarine.
