I would like to thank all individuals and organizations for these Awards. I will accept and display them with pride on behalf of the USS California (DLGN-36 / CGN-36) and Her Plank Owners. |
There are many websites out there that are common in subject. However, we are an elite group in that our subject matter is not one that is common. We have taken it upon ourselves to relive a past and present it to the general public to preserve and perhaps educate them. Ask yourself this question, "How many officers and men have walked the decks of the ships I served?", now ask yourself another question, "How many of them have made the effort to educate the WORLD by the use of the internet?" I'll bet that the second number is far less than the first by a significant amount! Yet you have made the decision to undertake a great and demanding task and have performed suberbly! For that, you are awarded the Mariner Award. BZ and job well done! |
