70th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway...
June 4, 1942
That is a rarity, the Midway was one of the ships hubby served on. He did his service during Nam, they helped pull the ambassador out of Nam. The small plane that carried a Vietnamese family flew over, pilot dropped his gun with a note, the Midway’s crew pushed the “junk” Jolly Greens over the side so he could land. The plane is in the Naval museum at Pensacola. They had to hold the plane down as the winds were so high that day and of course the plane was no bigger than a piper cub style plane.
