SAD DAY FOR the US NAVY :( ... IT WAS THE HOPES OF SO MANY FORMER SHIPMATES, MY HUSBAND GEOFF INCLUDED, THAT THE USS SARAGTOA, CVA ~ 60 AIRCRAFT CARRIER WOULD BECOME A FLOATING NAVAL MUSEUM MUCH LIKE THE USS INTERPRISE IN NYC, BUT SADLY AFTER 12 YEARS AT DOCK IN RHODE ISLAND ... IT WAS NOT ... NO GOVT FUNDS CAME THROUGH, AND NOW THE USS SASRATOGA IS BEING TOWED TO HOUSTON, TEXAS WHERE SHE WILL BE DISMANTLED TO BECOME SCRAP ALL FOR THE PRICE 1 CENT ... WHAT A VERY SAD TIME IT IS FOR THOSE WHO SERVED SO FAITHFULLY ABOARD THIS MIGHTY FLOATING FORTRESS ... ACHORES AWAY LADY SARA, BUT THE MEMORIES MADE ABOARD ... ARE LIKE NO OTHER ... TO THE MILLIONS OF SAILORS WHO ONCE CALLED YOU HOME AND YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN :( ~ FINAL SALUTE (Y) BY: ADJ - E5, Geoff Hewston ( Time served aboard the Mighty Sara 1969 and 1970 )
