Photos from Milton Nobles, who served with Don on the Midway. The picture with the 5 of them was taken when the returned from the Vietnam evacuation. They were at sea for months, and save up hazardous duty pay and tax free pay to buy all their new stereo equipment.
The second photo was taken Sept 2013 when Milton and Don were able to make it back to their first reunion since leaving the boat.
