Taps

I never knew SN Duplaga but I had the distinct honor of offering TAPS at his funeral. I had only been a member of USNR, Wheeling, WV for 1 year but when asked I answered in the affirmative. May you continue to rest in peace along with all the other heros. I served on the USS Hancock (CVA-19). God Bless.
