And how about one for Ship 13 - Marvin G. Shields who was the first and only Seabee to receive the Medal of Honor for his action in Vietnam. He posthumously received the Medal of Honor on September 13, 1966?

I've got that one started. The ship (barrack) was actually named for Knox-class frigate FF-1066 which served 1971 to 1992. The ship's namesake was Constructionman 3rd class Marvin Shields. Sadly, there is only a couple pictures of this sailor.

Thanks Craig. And I'll say it again - you're the best! I also know what you're going to say in reply and I'm still going to come back with a "CRAIG!!!" like I've done before.
