I want to express my gratitude to all of you for what you do and your long deployments. I assure you there are plenty more Americans that feel the same way. I cannot thank you all enough. Sincerely John Eannetta (MM2) Concord, CA Name: David Monell E-mail: dlmonell@centurylink.net City: Kill Devil Hills State/Province: NC Country: USA Sent: 01/01/2021 11:40:51 am I never served on NIMITZ but I worked on her for numerous availabilities during her early years at Norfolk Naval and at Norfolk Naval Base when they were filming the movie, "The Final Countdown" on her. I later worked on her at Newport News for her re-fueling in 2001. As a retired civilian employee, I want to thank all of the sailors who have served on Nimitz since 1975 for their service and keeping America safe and free. Happy New Year to all.

Later, as an employee of NN Shipbuilding, I had the opportunity to work on the ship when she came into the yard for overhaul in 1983. I was only 14 at the time of the commissioning but I got the chance to shake hands with President Ford and Admiral Rickover (who cursed at me for asking for his autograph). However, a very classy, elderly lady gently smacked the admiral on the arm and told him told to sign my program. He complied and I was grateful to this kind lady for intervening on my behalf. I was then told that this lady was Mrs. Douglas McArthur. She signed the program too but I have long since lost it. Can you confirm that Mrs. McArthur attended the ceremony? It is a great story and I want to have my facts straight, Thank you! |
