I served aboard the USS Meeker County LST 980 for 23 months during the height of the Vietnam War. The 980 earned 9 battle stars and 2 presidential citations for her service in Vietnam. I feel a great deal of pride and respect for the 980's achievements and crew in the Vietnam War, as well as her service in Korea, WW2, and peacetime. The 325 is representative of all LST's and our tour guides (who are the best), convey the message of all LST's and their missions. WE can't talk about every LST during a tour, but I'm convinced that our tour guides do a great job in promoting all LST's. Keep up the good work.
