Machinist Mate 3rd Class USS Gillette DE-681

“Well Done!”

From your children,
Warren and Theodora.
From your grandchildren,
Alan, Daniel, Thad, and Scott.
From your great-grandson, Evan Joseph.
From all who cared for you,
who keep you in their memory.
From those who sailed with you
and will sail again some day.

Thank you, Grandpa.
I promise to remember.
I promise never to let any army take away our home.
