Hilbert E. Neuberger

Sir, you failed to make your battle stations during general quarters. Hilbert, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The USS Robert A. Owen´s is now on station preparing for your final departure. The plank is in place and honor guards are stationed. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
