A very Happy Birthday Mr. Hemlick.
Thank you for your service to our country.
My father, rest is soul, was Navy and served in the Pacific Theater. Just last night my son and I were talking about his service and how little we know about it. I'm thinking of petitioning the Department of Defense for his records. Just so we know where he served while on ship.
You may have talked to other veterans of your era about your service (and escapades - the fun ones), as I know that veterans can talk to other veterans because they understand and have been there. Do please consider talking to you son and family so that history, traditions, honor, and duty to country can be preserved. We only know what newscasters have told us and it is so enlightening to the true story from someone who was involved.
Again, happy birthday, and thank you so much for your service.
Semper Fi!
