Dear Paul, I have seen many beautiful pages, and there are many awards out there for all of ones that reach out and help other's .. so to them. I offered the Hopes's Gold a them, I wanted to create an award for the pages that not only have creativity but ones that reach out and help other's .. so to them. I offered the Hopes's Gold award. I am not one of many words. But as I looked over your site it brought back many emotions that had long sense been buried. Not only has your site touched my heart but my soul as well. You Sir will be the last recipient to receive the Hopes Gold Award. It is now in retirement. I do this in honor of and in memory of all who fought and gave their lives for us. So in memory of my father, on behalf of my children, and my country, for what it once and will again stand for .... you have my deepest respect. We proudly and humbly salute you. The Hope's Gold Award is now in retirement as of September 10,1998. It has been given the honor of resting at USS OAKLAND CL-95's web site. Hope  The American War Library Our first major award in 1997 This web site

This web site was created for
my
shipmates, their children, their children's children and
anyone else that
might enjoy it. When I started this web site I wanted a red,
white, and blue color
scheme so you will find alternate lines of red and blue on a
white stucco or white
marble background. When using Internet I hope that you will
not have line color bleeding problems. If you are color blind I
am
very sorry because you will miss a wonderful web site. I also us
numerous graphics
and
music on every web page to make your surfing of this web site more
enjoyable.
