George Mendonsa

I would Like to reach out to Georges Children and tell them how sad It was to hear of the passing of your Father. I am Susan Dugan Gallo My Dad was Danny Dugan who passed away in 1996 was a Dear friend of your parents George and Rita.I have met George a few times he was a fine man our parents served in WWII together on the DD537,My families prayers go out to you and yours Regards Susan Dugan Gallo

In memory of George's service to our country, and to the way he embraced Hope and Freedom in open arms when our country needed it most, I offer a poem that I wrote reflecting upon my own father's service in WWII. I think the sentiments are most deserved here, too ...

A Father's Legacy

In a solemn setting on our nation's mall,
Under peaceful skies, on a gently curved wall,
Immortalized stars hang row by row,
Reflecting our heroes from decades ago.

Each one a...

Fair winds and following seas sailor.
"Boatswain... Standby to pipe the side... Shipmate's going Ashore..."

Thank you for your service to this nation.

MAY THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHARE IN YOUR GRIEF BRING YOU A MEASURE OF COMFORT.PLEASE READ PROV 17:17

Let the swell do the work, Captain George. Having worked on the Tallman & Mack trap boats for two seasons in the early seventies, I came to know this wonderful man well. I will remember him always.

Rest in Peace Sir and thank you for your service to this country. Thank you for that memorable picture . I don't know your Family,but my thoughts and Prayers go out to you all.
