Navy Proud

by Allen W. Van Osdol Jr.

The US Navy was first established in 1775 and has been built on a rich history of patriotic service ever since. "Navy Proud" invites you to jump onboard with a seventeen-year-old sailor as he enlists in 1962, around the time the United States begins sending forces to Vietnam. From boot camp to active service, to his experiences as a veteran after the war, Allen Van Osdol's memoir illustrates what military life is like for the average American. As passionate now about serving his country as he was in his youth, Van Osdol demonstrates not only a fervent desire to fight for what's right but also an ongoing gratitude for those who have given everything they could to ensure modern freedoms. Whether you're a history buff or a fan of military memoirs, you'll enjoy learning the general ins and outs of Navy life, as well as reading more specific stories about serving on the USS Kitty Hawk.
