Comments: Just remembering that I served on the USS Boyd 544 during Christmas time over in
Korea! And I remember that we were in Korean waters near the 38 parallel. And on
Christmas Day we had a small party of Marines come aboard for dinner. We did not
see any action on that trip. I am now an old man living out my days in Sothern
California.
