Former 627 Gold CO, Lewis E. Diley

Post by Board Admin »

Lewis E. Diley was my wonderful father. He is being inurned at Arlington Cemetery on April 1st & I guess I was just trying to inform the great men he served with that this event was taking place. Maybe a strange way to do it :).
He was Captain of the Gold Crew of the USS James Madison (late 60's I think) and Captain of the Nathanael Greene (some of the "Nasty Nate" guys will be there). One of the last functions dad attended before his death was the Nathanael Greene reunion in Missouri. He had a wonderful time & the men were so kind to him.
Anyway, that is why I signed up...maybe you can help me get the word out & see if any of the members would like to attend the ceremony & reception.
You can reach me on my cell: XXX or in the evening at XXX. I have a face book account under Betsey Diley Seymour.
Thank you for contacting me and God bless you, Lew's youngest
