Years Served: …Hello, My father(Herman E. Beard) served on the DD701 J. W. Weeks during the early 70’s. I am his daughter and I would like to know if anyone on this website knew of him or would be able to give me information about him. I haven’t seen him since I was at least 3years old. The only thing that I was told that he cooked on the ship during that time. Any information that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at professional4ever44@gmail.com Thank you in advance and do have a successful and creative life and thanks to each and everyone of you for serving and protecting our country. God Bless.
