Today reminds me of the service I put forth.
I remember back when a sister ship was hit by a mine in the Persain Gulf. USS Princeton was hit by a mine from Iraq.
I remember back when one ship steering cable broke and the ship ran into another ship My ship had to go and be changed that steer cable where my ship, USS Cowpens would not run into another ship due to a steer cable breaking.
I remember back when we on the ship treated each person as a person.
I remember back the commissioning of my ship, March 9th, 1991.
We must remember what every Veteran went through, even one's that served back 200 years ago.
Thank you all that served and Thank you to our Active Duty.
