William K. "Bill" Mason

Chief, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy Vietnam Veteran. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The USS Forrestal is now on station, preparing for your final journey. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to begin, ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.

Bill, Thank You for Your service to our country. God Bless You! God be with your family! Sincerely, A Grateful American
