From Mike Ramey
| Taken on the USS Tripoli. This was Golf company's home base while they were 'on float' in 1968. Most of their time was spent ashore on operations. They only spent a few days onboard. Mike Ramey on the left and Larry Mason on the right. They are getting ready to go on R&R. Notice the "Welcome Home" sign behind them. Golf had just finished an operation and come back on board. The sailors had cookies and punch ready for them. The Marines were neither amused nor impressed. |
