I also became a high school a physics and chemistry teacher, and helped many farmworker families obtain medical and dental care, and help them to
Each year through the media I attempt to celebrate Veteran’s Day. I send out a long-ago Great Lakes Naval Training Center boot camp photo of myself with a couple of boot camp buddies and include an image of the destroyer war ship I served on for three years in the late 1950s: the USS Ingraham DD 694. In sending out my Navy article, I do so not because I felt it my duty to join up, but more so because at that time I had no other place to go. After having competed high school in Colorado in 1956, I enrolled in a college, but I quickly ran out of money. My options of supporting myself and for education and future opportunities quickly became bleak. So I joined my country’s service in a time of world peace. But as the number of my boot camp days increased, so, too, did the pride in my being in the service, and, more importantly, so, too, did the pride in myself. The Navy trained me on how to work as a team with others and gave me many classroom courses. Because I was good in high school algebra, I was selected for electronics technician training. With this training I later became the ship’s top technician in charge of keeping the radar and communications equipment in top operation, and on occasion, the sonar and the big-gun firing control systems. My service training and team-working experience planted in me a direction in life at a time when I had no

to their families I have a great respect and whom I think about often. Since my Navy discharge, I have encouraged those women and men who yearn to better themselves in education and in job training but, who, like me, have no other place to go, to join
a military service. In so doing, I tell them, will make you proud. Note: In the above photo, Seaman Electronics Technician Guillermo Castaneda is seated in front of two seaman boot camp buddies. Granger, WA 98932 509 854 1585 gvcastaneda@ hotmail.com
