We’re interested in publishing your sea-stories.
I'd really like to post any story that you would like to share. Frankly, I consider the unwritten history of our squadron to be one our most valuable assets. I'm willing to work closely with anyone that has a tale to be told to get your stories posted on this site.
Please email your sea stories to me at:
WebMaster@VP-6.org
or anyone on the contacts page.
