POW/MIA Table

Hope this finds everyone Happy and Healthy. The enclosed picture was taken at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi on April 30, 2017 by Pete Scolaro. The Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport was previously called the Soldiers and Sailors Home and under the auspices of the Navy and Marine Corps. Though the Army and Air Force no longer display the Bible, apparently the Navy and Marine Corps still do. God Bless the men and women of the Navy and Marine Corps and long live their traditions! Please note the Bible. V/r, Roman Hnatowski

NMCB 62 Alumni Member Tom Meyer

Master of Ceremonies at 70th Seabee Anniversary Celebration

There were two proclamations presented at our dedication, one from the Missouri Senate, and one from the Missouri House of Representatives . The copy you have came from the Missouri Senate, from Senator Jason Crowell, in recognition of the 70th. Anniversary of the area SEABEES. Both were read from them, which made it very special. They will hang in the hallway entry at the local American Legion Hall, where we have our Seabee meetings. We had Two Missouri Representatives, one Missouri Senator, one Cape Girardeau County Presiding Commissioner and District 1 County Commissioner on hand, as well as a number of SEABEE Veterans from WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Iraq. Thank you for allowing us to display our Battalion Flag NMCB-62. Many remarked they wish they had their own Battalion Flag on hand. Again, Thank you, TMMeyer

This one is Chad Turner on right helping to pull shipmate from underneath the dozer's track. Note: I directed this fake accident - pretty good eh? I'm not sure who the other guys are in this picture.

I can't believe I walked out on these tubes and took this picture!

I was on this detail to hook up the cement syphoning tubes.

This is the actual monument to the PM-3A, at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. I don’t know who the USARP is in the photo. Between him and the plaque is Hut Point and the original hut of Sir Robert Falcon Scott, second at the Pole after Amundsen. - Chuck Fegley
