I remember that day. Was on the bridge logging commands.  Served on the Howard from 2006-2010.

What a beautiful ship.. I was on USS Howard W Gilm0ore AS-16 Sub Tender 71-75.. Would give anything to step into a time machine and be a young man again and serve on a beautiful greyhound like the Howard.. GO NAVY!!

This was made in honor of Jimmie E. Howard, from Hill 488 in Vietnam, and he got the Congressional Medal of Honor. God bless you.

Thank you so much for this. My brother, FCC James M. Bush was on the Howard yesterday. Since I live in Oklahoma and wasnt able to see him come home, this is as close to being there as I can get. Thanks! Bless our troops!

wickedoll - you are very welcome! I managed to film all the CSG ships that came in that day, which is miraculous in itself. Homecomings are a very uplifting, very inspiring site to see, every time! Best happening in San Diego that there is!!!!
