Welcome to the USS Wallace L Lind DD-703 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: 1956-1959…

Years Served: 1953-1957…I am Clarence Lawson. My father passed away Sunday January 11, 2011. I would like to talk to some of you that served 53-57. My email is lawson5708@hotmail.com Thank you i will miss my father and his stories when he was on the ship.

I looked up the Lind because I was aboard her sister ship DD-704 Borie. A coincidence with the hull numbers was my last three numbers of my service number is 704 and a buddy who joined the same time I did has the last three as 703. I know we were in port in Norfolk at the same time. We made a med cruise in 1963 and were extended longer because vice president Lyndon Johnson was making a goodwill tour of the North Atlantic so we docked in Copenhaven Denmark, Portsmouth England and Turku Finland. Was the Lind there as well?
