Welcome to the USS Eugene A Greene DD-711 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: 1965 – 1966…I was fortunate enough to be a member of a great crew, aboard a great old ship we cruised around the world and saw action in Viet Nam (WHERE WE KICKED SOME ASS!) While on this cruise we managed to add these to make our bones a bit more salty…..Shellback,Golden Dragon, Order of Magellan, Order of the ditch and order of the rock. I am still in contact with Brian Atwood, Dan Sinclair and Dick Raduenz. I was also in contact with Ray Peterson, but sadly he has passed away. Ray, Brian, Dick and myself stood watches in the after engine room , Dan was in main controal. I , as well as almost every one else, as I remember it, did a lot of bitchiing about the GD Navy back then but I have to tell you, given the chance I would do it all over again. Those were some of the best years of my life and I think back on them and the great mates I had so much fun with.
