| 42 years ago today, I survived
the crash with 4 others on Old Woman's Mountain at Kodiak, Alaska when
we were deploying in VP-17. I think of the 7 that did not survive
very often. Richard Mitchusson, 10Jan2005 |
| Dec 2004 I flew in a VP crew out of NAS Whidbey Island and several
Alaskan deployment sites in the early '60s. Not many people,
including our own families, knew what we did on those flights because
of the secrecy involved. As a result, there wasn't much
recognition for what we accomplished in the hazardous
conditions under which we often operated. A lot of dedicated
people died in those VP operations, some of whom I knew and had flown
with. It's high time we honored these people... not just those
who died, but everyone who served their country and the Navy with
distinction as part of the Whidbey VP force. This memorial has my
enthusiastic support. I have already placed my brick
orders.
