Happy Veterans Day

Happy veterans day to all my fellow veterans! I'd like to take a moment to remember the veterans of WWII, before it completely recedes in memory. Here is a pictures of my my dad and his fellow shipmates and of the USS Sea Poacher (SS 406). James Brink (at the time a LTJG) served aboard the Sea Poacher for four war patrols during World War II. After the war he remained in the Reserve, was mobilized during Korea and the Cuban Missile Crisis, commanded two reserve submarines, and retired as a Commander in 1964. In his civilian career, he practiced law for over 40 years.
