Bennington Goes To War" That's the name of a video about Bennington in WW 2, that includes pictures and details about enemy raids, battle stations, and, yes, even beer parties.

There is no doubt World War 2 was a rough time.

But during the 1960's we didn't have it easy....... we went to war (off the coast of Viet Nam..... 5 battle stars!!!) but times do change, and we went to war a little differently than the CV 20 guys did.

We celebrated Christmas 1966 on "Yankee Station" in the South China Sea, with the Bob Hope Show* on board, we had Miss World, Anita Bryant, Joey Heatherton, and yes, even Phyllis Diller on board.

This picture comes from Wayne Hughes, ( WHUGHESMTN@AOL.COM ) the Captain's Yeoman. It is a picture of Joey Heatherton coming out of the Captain's cabin in hair rollers!!!

Hey, you go to war the way you want and we will go the way we want!!!!
