I was a crew member on the USS Princeton LPH-5 in 1961 and 1962 and
was in the 3rd Division and watched the bomb.
I haven't had a lot of trouble, some small cancers on my face and ears.
I did like the beach party. I didn't know what was in the water .....
the beer was good .. the sun was hot, I guess we
were young and dumb ! I know it was quite a sight, and won't forget it for as
long as I live.
Thanks for bringing this matter to the attention of the V.A.
