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.
The photos above are of the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Mayport, Florida. This memorial was funded by many of the former shipmates of USS FDR. The bell is the actual ship's bell that was aboard FDR.
