Ingersoll was decommissioned and stricken from the Navy list on 24 July 1998. She was sunk as a target on 29 July 2003.
Sad how most of the Sprus lasted not 20 years before early retirement.. |

Dad Fisherman that is a great story -- I hope to teach my 3 boys the same lesson as they grow.
I am as guilty as anyone in not doing it enough, but each & every soldier who served our Great Nation in any capacity in the Armed Forces deserves a great deal of thanks. You all gave in some way to build what we have now.
When I read "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young", and every time I watch that movie, I get chills; not just because of what is on the movie screen but because of the realization that what is on the screen is actually what those men encountered in the Ia Drang Valley, and what thousands & thousands of others endured in all of our Nation's other involvements, including Iraq -- all for our sake.
Each one deserves great thanks. God bless you all...

As a Baptist minister, I am grateful for the freedom to proclaim my beliefs without fear of torture, car-bombings, and kidnapping.
Thank you to all who have earned this freedom for me. I have not earned it; I do not deserve it, and I can never pay you back. But, I will always be grateful and I will cherish the freedom God has given to me through your sacrifices. You have my deepest gratitude.
May God's grace be with you all on this Veteran's Day.
