"Jake, A little something
for you. Enjoy your page. We need more Navy pages online. You deserve this award shipmate."
"Fair Winds and Following
Seas"
Jerre & Sue Burrows,
Whidbey Island, Washington State
People, Jerry & Sue Burrows gave me this award and I am touched as I always am when someone likes what I do on this site. It is a 'Labor of Love' as we don't get any other remuneration, nor would I even desire it, but when we get such complements and awards such as the ones above, it makes all the hours of work that go into creating a Website worth it.
Anyone who has built a Website knows how many hours go into it, and if you visit Jerry and Sue's homepage, the truth of that will certainly be manifest! So I invite you to make sure that this is one of your priorities. To go there, just click on the Award, and you truly will be 'awarded' for your efforts many times over. Anchors Aweigh!!

May I say that this web page is the most outstanding tribute I have seen in 15 years to the United States Ship Hancock! I have never served in her, however I have in my 28 years of Naval Service, served in MIDWAY, RANGER, KITTY HAWK, MIDWAY(SECOND TOUR) and DEYO. Having served proudly I thank you for your service to those who have served and gave their all to God and country." Robert K. Ramstad |
The above was originally an entry in the Guestbook, but LT Robert K. Ramstad, USN, honored me so well, in his words above that I decided to include it as one of my Honors and Awards. Thank you LT Ramstadt!

Dear Jake,
I was searching on Google under "Navy Traditions" and your site was listed.
I have spent the last hour touring your site and have now forgotten what I wanted Google to find for me, because
I became so engrossed in your site!
Actually, I was looking for information about the Navy tradition of the empty chair at a dinner table - salt on the plate -
a slice of lemon. If you can fill me in on the details, I would appreciate it.
In the meantime, it is with deep honor and pride that I present you with my Quartermaster Award for Web Site Excellence
2002.
This award is presented to you on behalf of the USS SAVAGE DE-386 and my father's memory.
Please accept it as a heartfelt thank you for your extraordinary work on your site.
Thank you for your service to your country - you are a Great American!
Most sincerely,
Diane C. Day

http://TheUSSSAVAGE.homestead.com/This Email had such wonderful words of encouragement that I just had to post it as an Award from another Webmaster, Diane C. Day. I can't overstate how important it is to receive such words from visitors to this Memorial, as it is the Fuel that keeps me going. Like the Old Hannah needed Fuel Oil to burn in her Boilers, kind words of encouragement keep this Website "Pointed into the Wind" and so, thank you Diane for your Kudos and wonderful words of Encouragement! ~ Jake

Jake, Ralph Wilcox was first crew aboard the Shangra-la, LA (CV38). Of all the things he accomplished in his life he was most proud of being a plank owner aboard her. Since his death in 1977, I have kept his letters home, the ship's newspapers, his pictures and postcards, etc., safe for my grandchildren. I cannot question him anymore about his experiences, so I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you and the other men, sharing yours with me. Mr. Jaccard, you have left footprints. Linda, |
Linda has touched me in a way few have through her Emails to me, regarding this site. So touching, in fact, that I just couldn't avoid honoring her, as she honored me with her kind words of deep emotion. Some 'Awards' come from the heart in the form of Kind Words. I consider Linda's words, truly an Award of the Heart!

Jake, Brent Packman, MU1, USN, (Ret), |
Brent Packman originally left his remarks in our Deck Log (Guest Book), and his words were so touching I just had to include them here on our Awards Page. This is why I put in all the time and work on this Website - not for the Kudos or the Awards, but for the impact this Website is having on everyone who comes here. I does me proud to know that the HANCOCK LEGACY continues in this century when she was put to bed way back in the middle 70's. So thanks, Brent for your kind words and for letting me know that my work has not been in vain.
