I was born in Rutland, Vt Dec 9, 1950. Moved back to Maine when I was a couple months old. I basically grew up on two farms during the summers with my grand parents. Life was pretty simple back then, compared to today. Grandfather Tibbetts did not have electricity or phones. He worked his 500 acres with his horses or steers.

For many years when people thought about war they associated male with war. Time to time women even disguised themselves as men to serve in combat. In the first World War Russia used one all-female combat unit, then in the second World War, hundreds and thousands of German and British women served in combat but as roles in anti-craft units. They put women in these positions because they were not at risk of being captured. A large scale of women were used near the front as medical staff and…
much about the social history of the Navy, they could probably still expect it to mirror, or even just closely align with, the social history of the nation it served. It’s certainly true of Hispanics in the Navy, and immigrants in general, but someone might not know how much opportunity the Navy afforded those who served, too. Indeed, it’s a remarkable fact, according to Naval historian Dennis Nelson, that little was made of race in the early years of the U.S. Navy. But it makes sense. Not…
