I want to send an

Cornish SR. in the latest mag.issue. It is practically word for
word of a letter I have written several times through the
years,reprimanding revisionists for telling the world---We
shouldn't have used the A- Bombs. Instead of using snail
mail,what is the e- mail address to send my letter,as I have
something powerful to add. Thank you,Ed Blum,Sampson Boot in

Attended Pearl Harbor
ceremony at Hackensack NJ at the USS Ling Museum,along with some
Sampson Salts as had been the practice in past years. Had a very
interesting tour of the Sub and was very impressed by the way
the museum there is being maintained by volunteers much the same
as our museum up in Sampson. Groups represented were Pearl
Harbor Vets, Tin Can Sailors, Marine Corps League, Army Air
Forcew Museum, and of course our Sampson Vets proudly wearing
our Sampson hats, and several Veterans Poasts from the area. I
urge anyone living in the North Jersey area to take a vist and
see that the WW2 Vets are not forgotten in North Jersey. I
believe the museum is open weekends all year and probably during
the warmer season during the week. I was in Co 552 in 1944. |

Had a pretty good
summer there in 1944. F-16, upper. Then on to radio school in
Indianapolis. Have been to Sampson several times on drives from
Las Vegas back to Mass. Grand things have been done there by the
organization! A pair of my well-used "boots" and
unused hammock are in the brig-museum, and, as of Pearl Harbor
Day, a Sampson 1944 cap and some newsletters are in the new, and
only, Veterans' Museum in Nevada. In Panama till 1946. Joined
the Army Reserve in Toledo (a Harbor Craft company) for a night
out with the boys in 1950--just in time to spend 2 years at Ft.
Eustis, VA. First visit to this site---won't be the last! |

Great web site! Keep
it up. Was at Sampson 'Boots' from 8/15/44 until 9/23/44 and
then in OGU until somtime in mid October 1944, when I was sent
to Bainbridge, MD. NTC to Radio School-- missed out on that
famous Lake Seneca winter, but Bainbridge on the Chesapeake was
worse!! Spent Christmas eve that year on the mid watch guarding
the Dempster Dumpster from potential Nazi garbage stealers!
Volunteered for Sumarine Service -- didn't get accepted. Got
sent to USNTC Great Lakes, MI to Advanced Radio Tech. School,
then in July 1945 to US Naval Radio Sta.'NSS' for duty under
instruction. Spent VJ Day on liberty in Washington DC --
incredible!!! Then flown out to Hawaii to Naval Radio Station,
'NPM' Honolulu for rest of my duty. Finally got five days 'sea
duty' on an APA being transported back to the States for
discharge at Lido Beach, NY. Guess I was one of the lucky ones.
Will send in my Company 566 L picture for your files. |

I was very pleased to
read my last published article on the web site in the Sampson
WW-2 Navy Veterans. Although I haven't attented any reunions
with my shipmates, Capt. Leonard Zavada-Wyoming, PA(former vice
president of our organization), Master Chief Domnick Cerra, Joe
Gallo GM3c and our wives. Our interest is very high and
enjoyable in all phases of WW-2 Sampson Navy Veterans. I am very
happy to see the hard work and results that is still being put
forth into our organization. Your shipmate, Domnick J. Pizzola

This is my second
entry in the guest book and I haven't seen another entry for
June 1943-Unit- C/Co118.I think it should in the newspaper more
often.That's how I found out about it last year,after all these
years.I served on the USS Knight DD633,for two years and belong
to The Tin Can Sailors.There must be many Sampson Sailors who
were destroyer sailors,there are only three ever listed in the
Boot Camp Buddy listing from Sampson.Let's go Tin Canners! |

My second comment: I
went thru Sampson in Feb.1943 I don't remember my company
number, but it was in "G"unit, the chief's name was
Drexel [nice guy] anyone out there remember him? From Sampson I
went thru the machinest mate school in the Great Lakesfrom there
to the west coast,on to Brisbane Australia. Sent to New Guinea
to pick up the USS Dobbin AD3. spent time on the USS Mizar, USAT
Sea Conk, Cleveland, Boise, Phenox, Nashville, and Denver.
Before I was discharged I was assigned to the USS Albany CA123.
Called back into the Korea war and assigned to the USS
C.K.Bronson DD668 That should tell you guys that a boilermaker's
rate is not the way to go. you never got any shore duty. All in
all it was quite an education. If there is anyone out there who
spent time on any of these ships I'd like to hear from you.
