From Mike's letter, 1 Mar 1968: "Yesterday a plane went down near us. In the afternoon we moved into the area but they only found the wreckage, no pilot. We have the remains of the plane and the helmet of the pilot on board. I took some pictures of it." [Letter]
From Mike's letter, 1 Mar 1968: "Twice this week we went to general quarters when they picked up MIG's on the radar, the closest they got was about 60 miles but we were manned and ready just in case." [Letter]
From Mike's letter, 1 Mar 1968: "Its been 19 continuous days at sea for us now. The 25th of March seems so far away when we go back to Subic Bay. There is very little to look forward to and when the mail comes it makes the day seem a little brighter." [Letter]
