Treasure Chest Thursday - Insignia for the USS Holland


My husband turns 72 years old today. He designed this for the USS Holland, a submarine tender, back in his Navy days. We have it on our wall (the larger version is somewhere else . . . Butch was part of the commissioning crew for the Holland; his son Quentin was part of the de-commissioning crew for the same vessel so who knows where the plaque would be now!).

Happy birthday, Butch.

    Very cool. We have a grandson in the Navy right now, so I found this interesting. Happy birthday to Butch!

    My father and brother-in-law were both in the Navy as well! Happy birthday to your husband, Jean, and many thanks to him (and his son) for his service to our country!
