Dedications

This web site is dedicated to three people:

1. First and foremost, my wonderful wife, Leah, who for nearly 25 years has put up with my collections and my hobbies, including building models and writing web pages.
   
   
2. My friend and mentor, Brett Watson, MM1(SS) of USS Aspro (SSN-648).
3. My father, G.W. Stitz, Staff Sargeant, USAF (ret) who taught me, without ever saying the words outright, that any job worth doing, is worth doing well; that being a military profesional doesn't mean that you are a warmonger; and that once the war is over, its over and done with, and that you shouldn't hate the soldier on the other side, because he didn't start the war, any more than you did, but you both had to fight because someone else said to go to war.
