ActionfigureJoe Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Song is a testimony to the lives, families, and lifestyles of the sailors. And not just for those that were on the Fitz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 One of those songs where, as I'm scanning for a station to listen to, will keep it there to listen to this song. Sad story, but a great song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was launched in 1952 as 1 of 8 AAA boats. I’m a bit of a boatnerd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
