STORMY STOGNER wrote on November 22, 2003 City and State: ALBUQUERQUE NM Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My dad, JW Stogner, served on Iowa as a Gunner's Mate 3rd Class something for which I have always had great pride. I have been extrordinarily proud of my dad, for having served his country in a time of war. I was an adult before I found out that Korean War vets were treated badly as they came home from war, as I was born about 25 years after it ended. Just wanted to say that I appreciate what you /all/ did for your country. Thank you! Keywords: USS Iowa BB 61

SUZZANNE SCHNEIDER wrote on September 18, 2003 City and State: LA PORTE TX Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: He is my father who recently passed away this year. For reasons that I cannot explain I was taken way by an ugly divorce. Just as I was getting to know him again he left me for heaven above. I am trying to piece together memories of my father from when I was young. I feel the need to know more about this painful period of his life. I truly do not understand why this war was so aggressively protested. Did these people not realize the soldiers had no choice in going? This makes he terribly mad! At least many of the Americans today are not treating the soldiers in Iraq this way, maybe we learned something. I hope so. Keywords: Roy Lee Taylor, I believe he was on the Iowa I have that name in my head. If I remember correctly and there is a 50 50 chance I may be wrong ro right he was a frog man.
