Hello, my grandfather served in Ron 9, on PT 155 and was C/O of 126. His name was LT. (jg) John L. McKay, would you happen to know which boats Mr. Pullano served on?

John: I have an uncaptioned crew pic of the 126 boat. Give me your e-mail if you would like a copy.

I would love to correspond with this gentleman! If I knew his email I would send him a message right now. Can you post his email?

Thanks to all who replied to this topic.Of course you are the ones who do show respect to the Vets.
As i said in the original post,Some of you wont like this,and maybe they are the ones who didnt bother to reply?
Anyway im sorry that i had to air my opinions on the board but i think i made my point.Russ is happy the issue was raised,i didnt want to embarass him and i told him so,and in his reply he once again related a story that only a gentleman as himself could have showing that he is willing to share as long as its appreciated.
One other point i would like to address,it was implied that i put these men on a pedestal with my respect for them.This is not the case i merely think that it is common courtesy to respect your elders,especially ones who gave there all for our freedom.
In my search for my Grandfather i have and still do,talk to many Vets from all branches,including Base Force and PT Boaters and Seebees,one gentleman i talk to served on LST's and he just about makes me cry everytime i do,because of his beautiful nature and his resiliance he is 90 odd.So no i dont put them on a pedestal,because i know they dont want that either,i just respect them.They deserve it.
I once said on this board that i regarded you members as family,i know its sounds very corney but i meant it,vets, modellers and writers all.But guess which ones are disappearing,so let us treasure them while we can.
Ill go now as i sure you are extremely sick of me,i suppose i should thank you for not ripping me a new one,ha ha
Drop Russ(or any other vet you know ) a line when you can im sure they would appreciate it
Colleen click on one of Russ's posts and there is a icon which you can use to email him,im sure he would love to hear from you,sorry i couldnt help you with those divers i was talking to,who said they might dive the 300
Cheers from OZ

Hello Blake,

My father, Lt. Bill Brown, was Captain of the 493 boat in Ron 33. Any chance that you will be going to the reunion? Maybe we can have a cold one together.
