U.S.S. HANCOCK CV/CVA-19

I am the daughter of Micheal Donovan.  He served abord in the late 1960’s and very early 1970’s.  I would like to hear from anyone who knew of my father while aboard, any medals/ribbons/awards that he may have incurred, and any campaigns that he may have participated in.  I do know that he was in Chicago in 1967 for basic (he met my mother) and that he got out sometime in 1971/early 1972.   My father was a pipefitter by trade, but am unsure of his rank and assignment on ship.

Please feel free to contact me.  septsapphire1970@yahoo.com

Thank you

A university student’s disgraceful art experiment left out one important variable: resistance from a determined American Legionnaire.

Susan Crane, a 40-year-old education major at the University of Maine at Farmington, displayed a series of U.S. Flags on the floor of a student center hallway on campus April 15.

“My purpose was to figure out how people felt about the flag and (I) gave them a choice to walk around it,” she said.
