My Grandfather was in during the Korean conflict

Comments: My grandfather was in the Navy during the Korean Conflict. I don't recall the name of his ship that he said he was on. I loved him very much and I am thinking about writing a memoir about him. Any information anyone could give me about him would be so great. His name Was Sydney Thomas Jones, but he also went by Sid and maybe even his last name. I don't know what exactly he sailors went by name wise. He was a machinist mate. He got a Purple Heart. He cut his thumb off during a work accident. My grandfather was right around 6 feet tall with dark brown hair, almost black. His eyes were light light blue in color.

Did anyone know William E. Collins?

Comments: I'm looking for any stories or anyone who knew my grandfather. Or any stories at all about the Midway and the Korean War. My grandfather passed away 5 years ago, and I'm the only one who ever heard any of his old stories, I wish I knew more. If you can tell me anything, or might possibly have some old pictures, please let me know. I do have his old book, from the Cruise of 1955, where he is pictured twice in the book, anything else would be spectacular. Thanks you.

I REALLY MISS MIDWAY

Comments: I served onboard Midway from September 1977 until September 1979. I really hated Yokosuka but loved the old girl (MIDWAY). I have alot of great memories from that time, Subic Bay, Pusan, Perth Hong Kong, Thialand among a few more places. If anyone remembers MS2 Max C. Swain from S-2 division, but spent most of my time assigned to Shore Patrol, please contact me. Best wishes to all CV-41 shipmates Max
