The first one was while I was serving aboard the USS SARATOGA CVA60, an aircraft carrier, during the Cuban missile crisis, and the second one was looking for the three civil rights workers in Mississippi. So I am a little upset to read about the FBI agent and his partner with 30 apparently not very bright sailors from the Naval Air Station who, according to agent Thomas, were blowing up chickens to pass the time(killing chick Since he is making this speech to schools across the country he needs to have his facts correct.<br /><br />These are the facts agent Thomas left out of his story. To begin with there were more than 30 sailors looking for the three young men. Early every morning about 15 or 20 school busses arrived to pick us up and we had one FBI agent on each bus. I am not sure how many sailors were used every day but we had at least 200 or more. We would then drive the country roads, and we stopped at every swamp and field and then we would line up in a line and walk across the swamp or field with only our walking sticks to keep the snakes and other animals away as we searched for the young men's bodies. The FBI agent would stay at the bus with a grid map and mark off each area we searched. I also disagree with Mr. Thomas' statement that when he let his group in on the method he used when working a case that it was because he was saying, “working a crime investigation is just like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. We would still be looking for the three young men if the FBI worked the case that way. What agent Thomas forgets was most of the facts of the case, and the only way they were able to find the young men was to offer a $25,000 reward for information. <br /> I believe I speak for all of my fellow Navy comrades that we were honored to have had a part in searching for the lost men. Sadly, the offer of a reward was the action that helped find those lost workers.dboone1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01975130288267130750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056857233938165066.post-92099210477650415112011-06-05T04:26:16.069-05:002011-06-05T04:26:16.069-05:00I joined the Navy when I was 17 in 1961, and durin...I joined the Navy when I was 17 in 1961, and during my service I had the privilege of serving during two historic events.
