OUR SHIP WAS SENT TO CUBA IN 1962 WITH 5,000 FIGHTING MARINES FROM SAN DIEGO CA DURING THE CUBAN MISSLE CRISIS

I LOVED BEING IN CHARGE OF THE MOTION PICTURES ABOARD SHIP AS I WAS A TRAINED PROJECTIONIST.  WE GAVE 3 MOVIES A NIGHT TO THE TROOPS, THE SHIP'S COMPANY AND THE OFFICERS AND CABIN PASSENGERS.
