OUR MISSION STATEMENT
by Clyde Rictor

The first mission of this site is to Honor all the Men that served aboard her. In doing so we recognize the sacrifices that all who have served their Country from its inception to the date that you happen to read this mission statement.

We feel there is no greater service that a Man or Woman can do for their Country, than to serve her in our Military ranks. We also are aware of the need for old comrades to find long lost Friends. This website is here to make sure that all who served aboard the Mispillion, have that chance.

We now have a reunion every year and they have been a resounding success. There is no greater feeling of happiness than to see two old Shipmates who have not seen or talked to each other in 40 or 50 years, meet again. The joy on those faces cannot ever be forgotten. This has happened to every Shipmate that has attended a reunion.

Also we need to recognize the Families of our Shipmates. The ones that had to be without their loved one while they were away serving their Country. Also those that have been such a help putting these reunions together. I assure you that without these Families our reunions would not be the success that they have been.

We have had contact with many of the Families of lost Shipmates and they have told us how much this web site means to them. Some of those Families have joined us at our reunions and they were able to meet with their Loved ones Shipmates and exchange thoughts and stories. God Bless them for doing this for us.

Our web master takes care of this site as a labor of Love. Even though he did not serve aboard the Mispillion (We have made him an Honorary Shipmate). He takes care of our site and treats it with the Honor it deserves. If you have any problems navigating the site, Please feel free to contact him.

Also Steve and Clyde are on the contact page. We will be more than happy to help in any way we can.
Thank you for stopping by and please enjoy the website,
Clyde Rictor
