KEEPERS OF THE DRAGON
Ever
feel like a Dinosaur???? Well,
due to the current world
situation, we have all become dinosaurs of a sort. But
there is another way of looking at the passing of the
Nuclear age. We were members of a unique government
project. We saw it in its infancy, watched it
mature through years of confrontation and peaceful deterrence,
and now, thankfully, see it die for lack of need.
Don’t
sell yourselves short, shipmates! If
it were not for our
effort, dedication, and years of hard work in less than
desirable conditions, this great nation would never have
been in the position to negotiate the Arms Reduction
Treaties that are now before congress. We
worked under a veil of secrecy, and will never be publicly
thanked for our efforts; but there is some thing you can
do. Simply look in the mirror
every morning and
know that you, aside from all others, made one of the
greatest contributions that this country and mankind
will ever know.You,
Shipmates, were one of “KEEPERS OF THE DRAGON” LCDR
