Being so close
to Charleston, the Yorktown is one of my stops when people first come to visit. The MOH section is awsome. I've had the honor to know 4 MOH recipients in my life. Sid knows two of them as they were also Green Berets. Two of them worked for the VA Regional Office in Winston-Salem helping veterans with disability claims. Fred Zabitosky and Lawrence Joel. MOH Recipient Joel had a new colliseum named after him in Winston-Salem after he died. The other two are Jon Caviani and John Baca. After my first hip operation, one of the men John Baca saved in Vietnam was hired as a temporary to take my place during the lengthy recovery. We kept him on to replace me when I transferred to Greensboro.
