Do any of you have some interesting military-related pictures from Hawaii to share? In early 2012, my Civil Affairs Unit went to an exercise in Hawaii. We spent time at Camp Shafter and Schofield Barracks. The day before the exercise, we were told we could take the day off. Here is what happened. We promoted an E-6 to E-7 on back of the USS Missouri and we went to visit the USS Arizona and the USS Bowfin.

Awesome Photos LTC (Join to see)! My Uncle’s name is on a tablet at the Pearl Harbor Memorial. He was a dive bomber during the Battle of Midway; part of Squadron 6

According to my family’s history, his bomb was the first to hit Yamamoto’s ship. My Dad and 5 of his 6 brothers all served during WWII. My Uncle was 20 during the Battle of Midway. In the most recent movie, his name is actually on the ‘board’ in the room where the pilots are being briefed prior to that mission. This is my Uncle: Ensign Eugene A Greene and the destroyer escort named in his honor.LTC (Join to see)

SPC Nancy Greene Awesome Legacy, the ship was sold to Spain in the early 1970s and was not sunk until December of 1991.

LTC Stephen C. I am extremely proud of his accomplishments and am working on creating his shadow box. He had no children and I am the only second generation Greene to have served in the Military. LTC Stephen C.
