The group photograph shows one of the largest contingent of any one division or squadron gathered together outside of a reunion organization that is organized for just one division or squadron. All the former shipmates are from 4th Division of U.S.S. FDR. There are a few reunion associations that just accept members from one division or squadron. Here at Squadrons & Shipmates we welcome all former shipmates and members from any squadron that ever served aboard these two great sister ships. To be clear, any member of any squadron that served aboard either of these two ships is eligible to join Squadrons & Shipmates. The squadron member did not have to serve aboard either ship.

             One of the benefits of belonging to Squadrons & Shipmates is that we have the resources to help locate former comrades from your department, detachment, division or squadron. We just need to know the names of the personnel you wish us to find for you.
