Comment on Rhode Island’s WWII Veterans still making history by Blaine A Pickett

Congratulations to these 3 heroes from Rhode Island. Not only for living past 100 but I thank them for their service to our country.
I am a Navy veteran served in the Vietnam War, for 2 deployments with the Seabees out of Davisville. I also served on the USS WASP (CVS -18) out of Quonset Point before it was decommissioned in ’73.
My dad was a Coast Guardsman in WW2, stationed on a Long Island lifeboat station and as a guard on Ellis Island.
Take care my friends, and may you have many more birthdays, until we all meet again at that River that flows by the Throne of God.

Welcome to your local American Legion! We will no longer be open for dinner on Mondays and Tuesdays.
