Lt. Col. Carol Jo Hammes

C. J. and I were stationed on Hawaii together and were SCUBA buddies. On one occasion I could not go on a dive trip, so C.J. and her friend offered to take my high school son with them in my place. Ever after he has talked about "SCUBA diving with two beautiful Air Force Officers"! Their wonderful gesture became a lifetime memory. C. J. was a professional officer and wonderful friend...May she Rest In Peace

Carol had a beautiful spirit and kind manner. We came to know her through the American Legion, where she was loved and respected. We will truly miss having her around the post and wish her family our sincerest condolences and prayers. A donation to Post 313 has been made in her name. Go with God Carol and keep watching over us. - Bob and Josie Schantz
