My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.

This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.

I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.

Thank You All
For Your Support

Served as Stike Operations when

I coordinated the awards for
individuals who worked on
putting Indy back together
after SLEP, participated in
sea trial weapons systems
testing, and coordinated
the incorporation of the
Air Wing back onboard for the
trip around South America to
San Diego. As Strike
Operations, I wrote the
schedule to make most of
these events happen.
