ROH Nominees

[Craig Jones]

SEAWOLVES - SEAWOLVES - SEAWOLVES.  This message is for ALL SEAWOLF GUNNERS (and Pilots as it applies).  Why are so many of you telling everyone "I don't deserve to get put in for the ROH".  I know for a fact that there are many of you out there that qualify.  You say "I lost my flight records".  No Sweat in most cases.  With witness statements and comparing flight records of other gunners that flew with you during most of the same time period, we can construct a pretty accurate estimate of your number of combat missions/flight hours using your time on DET for computation, etc.  We have quite a few gunners now that have sent in their nomination forms lately and didn't have their flight records.  Let us know who you flew with and if you cannot contact them, we will try to do it for you.  If you have your Air Medal citations/DFC, Purple Heart, they would help, but if not, give me a call and we can help.  STOP SAYING "I DON'T DESERVE IT".  SEAWOLF PILOTS, PLEASE PLEASE nominate your door gunners.  MANY of our pilots have stepped up and done so and I thank you.  We are working on getting those packets complete and will be working with the gunners to come up with the required documentation.  Even if you know they have died after tour, please submit a nomination for them unless they have already been inducted.  Don't forget we will need a writeup from you concerning any firefighters you can remember and any details you can remember during those times.   I realize how difficult this last task can be for most of us. We are willing to work with you one-on-one to help you get your story out.
