All,
It was four years ago today that our good friend Tom Bowerman sailed over that far horizon. Take a moment today to remember him and thank him for his service, both in the Armed Guard, and then standing watch for so many years at the website he created.
God bless Tom.

Amen to your prayer, Ron. He was a remarkable man. For decades after I left the Navy I never encountered anyone who had served in the A.G. or even heard of it, until Tom found me poking around in the Internet in search of another old sailor who had shared my experience. He told me about his website, and invited me to join in. It was the start of what developed into a rare friendship. God bless him, indeed. -- Fran
