Surnames/tags: 41_for_Freedom Cold_War
The goal of this project is to honor the men who served aboard the 41 Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines from 1958 until 2002.
I am Gary Christopher. I served aboard USS Lafayette from 1979 to 1982.
Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.
- Create and link projects for each of the 41 for Freedom submarines
- Gather sea stories from those still living
- Gather life stories from those still living
- Gather obituaries from those who have departed on eternal patrol
Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!
