Following are links to photos taken by Rick Johnson, the father of Paul Johnson,
a friend of our President, Garry Thies.
His father was a reporter for the Indianapolis Star and, while in Vietnam, spent a few days aboard
the USS FDR in the Gulf of Tonkin, November of 1966.
There are more than USS FDR photos, but he thought many of you may be interested
and like to take a peek at some of these images.
If you are interested, you can look at Album 1 and Album 2

Larry Blumenthal, a member of the USS FDR Reunion Assn. and former Navy Photographer,
