Jersey City, New Jersey
Where did you serve and what did you do?
I served in the U. S. Navy, 1974-1994. I retired as an Operations Specialist Chief Petty Officer (SW). My qualification to the VFW was via the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, for Operation Earnest Will (1988), and the Combat Action Ribbon, for actions in Operation Praying Mantis (1988).
How are you Still Serving?
I joined the VFW in 2015, and am Still Serving proudly!
Why do you do it?
There are a lot of Veterans out there worse off than me. I know I can help.
