ADJ 1 US Navy Vietnam Toney Anthony Barnett, ADJ1, Aviation Machinist 1st Class
VF-74, USS Forrestal (CVA-59), TF 77, 7TH FLEET

USS Forrestal arrived on Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin on 25 July 1967 and immediately began combat operations. The first four days were routine; the fifth day, 29 July, was not.

At 10:52 AM a 5-inch Zuni rocket accidentally fired across the crowded flight deck, impacting an armed A-4 Skyhawk. The resulting explosions and fires raged for 13 hours and more, killing 134 crewmen with hundreds more injured.

Buffalo, South Carolina, June 27, 1938 to July 29, 1967

*************************************
In every lovely garden, one Bloom stands out from all the rest, Someone will always pick it, for it is the very best. The garden keeps on growing, but one spot will remain bare. For nothing can replace the 'Special Bloom' that once was there. It's been year's since God reached down and plucked you from our midst. The void remains, as does the pain, you are deeply loved & deeply missed. ~Author Unknown~
